[German] - Das Elefantenkind

"Der berühmte Autor des 'Dschungelbuchs', Rudyard Kipling, hat diese Tiergeschichte (Originaltitel: The Elephant's Child) ursprünglich seinen Kindern Josephine, Elsie und John zum Einschlafen erzählt, bevor sie 1902 auch in Buchform erschien. Auf originelle und ironische Weise wird eine kindliche Warum-Frage zum Ausgangspunkt für die abenteuerlichste Erklärung, weshalb der Elefant so einen langen Rüssel hat. Kipling, auch ein begabter Zeichner, steuerte zu dieser Hörbuchausgabe auch eine eigene Illustration für die Coverabbildung bei."

The Crab That Played With The Sea

"Long ago, in the Time of the Very Beginnings, when the Eldest Magician was still setting the world in order, every animal was given its place and its play. The elephant shaped the mountains, the cow grazed the forests into deserts, and the turtle scattered islands across the sea. But one creature slipped away before his turn came. Pau Amma, the great King Crab of all crabs, crept sideways into the deep ocean and chose to play his own game. From the hidden heart of the sea he stirred the waters themselves, sending them surging up rivers and retreating again—confusing the world of men and beasts alike. So the Eldest Magician set out across the moonlit sea with a man and his curious little daughter to discover who was playing with the tides. What they find beneath the waters leads to a clever bargain, a touch of magic, and the beginning of the rhythm that still rules the oceans today. Filled with Kipling’s playful storytelling, mythic imagination, and memorable characters, The Crab That Played with the Sea is one of the beloved tales from Just So Stories—a timeless explanation of why the tides rise and fall, and why crabs scuttle sideways across the sand. Narrated by Susie Hackel, this classic tale is brought vividly to life for modern listeners. This audiobook carries the Certified Human Voice™ designation—verifying that this performance was narrated entirely by a human voice, without the use of AI-generated or synthetic narration."

The Cat That Walked By Himself

"Before the Dog became Man’s first friend… before the Horse carried riders across the plains… before the Cow gave milk beside the fire… there was the Cat. In this timeless tale from Rudyard Kipling’s beloved Just So Stories, listeners are taken back to the earliest days of the world, when animals were wild and humans were only just learning how to make a home. One by one the wild creatures of the forest make bargains with the Woman of the Cave and become the first companions of humankind. But the Cat is different. Proud, clever, and fiercely independent, the Cat refuses to serve anyone. Instead, he makes a bargain entirely his own — one that lets him keep his freedom while still enjoying the warmth of the fire and a bowl of warm milk. Full of wit, charm, and gentle humor, The Cat That Walked by Himself explains — in Kipling’s wonderfully imaginative way — why cats live alongside people yet always remain a little wild at heart. Narrated by Tony J. Martin, this classic story captures the magic and playful storytelling that have delighted listeners for generations. This audiobook is presented with a Certified Human Voice™, performed by a real narrator with no AI-generated narration."
