{"product_id":"book-11kj","title":"How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this sun-washed tale from Rudyard Kipling's beloved Just So Stories, a badly behaved rhinoceros learns-quite literally-what it means to live in one's own skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a lonely island near the Red Sea, a meticulous Parsee bakes a magnificent cake, only to have it stolen and devoured by a rude, button-skinned rhinoceros with no manners to speak of. Weeks later, when the heat drives everyone to the water, the Parsee takes his quiet revenge-filling the rhinoceros's discarded skin with crumbs that itch, tickle, and torment. What follows is a rolling, scratching, temper-spoiling transformation that explains, once and for all, why rhinoceroses wear their skin in great folds and carry such famously sour dispositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWitty, rhythmic, and gently sharp-edged, How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin is classic Kipling at his most mischievous-an origin story that delights in language, repetition, and consequence. Narrated by Ian Turrell, this performance honors the story's Edwardian charm and sly humor, making it a timeless listen for children and adults alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50569706799408,"sku":"BD11kj","price":3.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/11kj-Square-cover.jpg?v=1770206488","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-11kj","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
