Rudyard Kipling's story of how the elephant got its trunk has always delighted children with its playful use of language and sense of high adventure. Never has there been a more satisfying rendering of Kipling's most beloved "Just So" story, which explains what the world was like "in the beginning of years when the world was new and all..." Ages five and up. Narrated by Jack Nicholson with musical accompaniment by Bobby McFerrin.

I grew up with this recording and I'm so glad to find it and be able to share with my child. Bobby Mcferrin's music is magical and Jack Nicholson is delightfully wicked as narrator.
