About this audiobook
Rudyard Kipling
Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year. They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote both The Jungle Book and its sequel, as well as Captains Courageous. He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A really fun book I read with my youngest son.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A short and cute book. It was well illustrated. A little short on the scientific basis but it is a children's book. Thus, we lie to them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a cute book. The version I have is shorter and redesigned for children. This book was about a very curious elephant that wanted to know why why why. One day he asked what the Crocodile ate for breakfast and embarked on his own journey to find out. His aunts, uncles, and parents all spanked him for not being obedient but he continued to ask questions and wonder. This book could be used when teaching on discipline and consequences. Also, you could introduce this book when teaching about outcomes and how sometimes they are good and sometimes they aren't so good. This book would be for appropriate for lower elementary students. The words aren't very difficult and the pictures are fun to look at.
