1) Audio CD Book Just So Stories (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Children's Favorites) by Naxos Audiobooks. I loved Just So Stories as a child, and the stories are - for the most part - still really wonderful. Be aware if you are buying this for someone, however, that some of the stories are less than flattering to minorities and one of the stories does use the word "nigger," so this is definitely a book for someone who is old enough to talk to about language and what´s appropriate and so on.¤

2) Audio CD Book Just So Stories (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Children's Favorites) by Naxos Audiobooks. This was the 2nd book in my Grandson´s Birthday Present. I am told that it is a big hit with my 3 other grand children as well.¤

3) Audio CD Book Just So Stories (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Children's Favorites) by Naxos Audiobooks. I thought I had written a review on this previously, but I think it had a slightly different title (complete just so stories) so I´ll write one for this particular title. I was given this book years ago, when my son was 3, by a friend of mine. He told me I should read the stories first and pick out the ones that I felt would be appropriate for my son, which I did. He loved the stories, particularly "how the rhinoceros got his skin," and I read it to him almost every night (we had been reading all Disney stories up until then). There were about 2 or 3 other stories in the book that we also read. It was wonderful and made him smile before going to sleep, always important! Yes, there are phrases, etc., in the book that are inappropriate, but Disney also has some pretty embarrassing things in their books, as well. Really. Read the things you intend to read to your children, and make decisions based on your perception of content. It´s an excellent book, with some very excellent stories. My son still remembers that book, and still loves the stories. Because I sold the book when we moved, I purchased a new one for a friend just having a baby recently. As I was told years ago, I told her to read the stories first and find the ones that she liked, and felt were good for her child.¤

4) Audio CD Book Just So Stories (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Children's Favorites) by Naxos Audiobooks. Very poor quality. There are symbols and characters in the text. Also, there are picture captions inside the text with no pictures. There are page numbers and the book title in the middle of the text. The first letter beginning each story is missing. No stars, sorry, even though I had to give them one because the computer won´t let you do it otherwise. I did read these to the children, but wow, it was hard figuring out what to leave out and what to leave in because the pictures (that aren´t there) have captions in the text. Really bad.¤

5) Audio CD Book Just So Stories (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Children's Favorites) by Naxos Audiobooks. As a child I read these wonderful stories, read them to my child and now he´s reading them to his children. How can you get through life not knowing how the Elephant Got His Trunk or how the Camel Got His Hump. In these days of uncertainty, these questions beg to be answered. Even now, and I´m 60, I can quote passages from this book to unenlightened friends and have gotten some of them to read this to themselves and grand children. For so many years, Kipling was out of favor, it´s nice that a new generation of children are reading these wonderful stories.¤

6) Audio CD Book Just So Stories (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Children's Favorites) by Naxos Audiobooks. ´I am the cat who walks by himself and all places are alike to me.´ Here are the delightful stories which Kipling first told to his own children before setting them down on paper. How the Camel got his Hump, How the Leopard got his Spots, How the Elephant got his Trunk, the Butterfly that Stamped and many others. They remain unforgettable - magic fables told by a master of children´s literature. To hear them - in their unabridged form as here - is to enjoy them in their original form. With delightful classical music from Dvorak and Janacek.¤
