Just So Stories (Version 3)
These whimsical short stories offer fanciful answers to a dozen of childhood’s favorite “why” and “how” questions. With their generous sprinkling of nonsense words as well as a delightfully rhythmic storytelling feel, they seem to have been written to be read aloud. (summary by rachelellen)
