Just So StoriesOctober 17, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a nine year old boy and my teacher got our class to read Just So Stories. I think it was okay and can be hard to understand. The illustrations were different to other stories. It was funny at some parts and I enjoyed it. But at some parts there was some dificult to understand the language. I recommend this book to people who were around at the time it was written.

I bought this for my nearly 6 year old son. He has really enjoyed listening to the stories. He can listen to several or just a couple of stories depending on his mood.

This is the best one to get - it's a facsimile of the first edition, in hardback, and with all the original Kipling illustrations. Accept no substitutes.
DisappointingFebruary 10, 2002 14 out of 15 found this review helpful
I found Tony Robinson's reading of these stories very disappointing.Some of the language used is not everyday speech, and this rendering is much too fast. It is necessary to have time for the words to be absorbed and appreciated and Tony does not allow for this. An old version by David Davies (apparently no longer available ) was much more rich and satisfying. I have now ordered the Johnny Morris version in the hope that this will fulfill our expectations.
