Pioneer Library System - PLS Presents...
Since 1902, Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories has been entertaining children and adults alike with tales of how things came to be as they are now. The Norman Public Library Children's Department would like to share a few of these stories with you in the coming months. And, to start it off, we have the fantastic Ms. Kim reading "How the Leopard Got Its Spots."
If you would like to follow along, Just So Stories is available as a book from the library or ebook from our OverDrive collection.
But first, we have provided you with definitions for some words found in the story that you may not know:
-Veldt: noun. A grassland especially of southern Africa usually with scattered shrubs or trees
Comes from: Afrikaans veld, from Dutch, field; akin to Old English feld meaning field
-Fulvous: adjective. Of a dull brownish yellow : TAWNY
