Everyone knows Rudyard Kipling's animals are the ones most worthknowing anywhere. This collection—beautifully performed by Boris Karloff—includes Kipling's Just So Stories (where we meet the animals when the world was new—so new, in fact, that the Rhinoceros had not yet losthis buttons!) and stories from his timeless classic, The Jungle Book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just So Storie narrated by Boris Karloff, July 10, 2005
I had the record when I was little and loved it, but I was disappointed with the CD. The sound quality on the CD is poor. There is background static and it sounds as if he is too far away from the microphone and that he is speaking through a tube. You have to turn it up in order to hear clearly. This alone hurt our ears then Karloff emphasizes certain words quite loudly which really hurt our ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD. Sound is no problem., August 21, 2006
This is the definitive reading of some of the best, wittiest children's stories ever. Kipling delights in playing with language and Karloff highlights the author's literary gifts. The sound is nowhere near as bad as other reviewers have suggested. On an ordinary stereo, the volume simply needs to be turned up a couple of notches. Another thing: this is Edwardian literature, so the elephant's child is spanked - a lot. While some parents might not wish their children to be exposed to this, it is worth noting that the spanking is portrayed (with some irony)as being both ineffective and a knee-jerk response by ignorant adults to natural curiosity in children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Many stories missing!, November 30, 2006
By Richard Bondi (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Missing are The Cat that Walked Alone, The Butterfly that Stomped, How the First Letter Was Written, and Mowgli's Brothers.

What's on the cd are the 7 stories: How the Whale Got His Throat, How the Camel Got His Hump, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin, The Elephant's Child, The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo, The Beginning of the Armadillos, How the Leopard Got His Spots.

I don't have the sound problems described in other reviews; the sound is indeed a bit low, but not low enough for me to complain about.
