About this listen

In the High and Far-Off Times, before elephants had trunks, there lived an Elephant’s Child who was full of satiable curtiosity. He asked questions about everything—questions that earned him more than his share of spankings, but never dulled his desire to know more about the world.

When one question proves too intriguing to ignore—What does the Crocodile have for dinner?—the Elephant’s Child sets off on a journey across Africa to the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River. What follows is a fateful encounter that changes him forever, turning curiosity into discovery and mischief into wisdom.

Told with Rudyard Kipling’s distinctive rhythm, warmth, and playful irony, The Elephant’s Child is a classic Just So Story about how asking questions can reshape the world—and yourself. With rich language meant to be savored aloud, this timeless tale delights children while rewarding adults with its wit, musicality, and imaginative charm.

Narrated by Richard Stibbard, this audiobook invites listeners of all ages into a story that celebrates curiosity, resilience, and the joy of discovering why things are the way they are.
