Stories of the whys you never thought about. =) This book contains 12 short stories. Quite a good book to read aloud to children. I like the short story titled The Cat That Walked by Himself. It is a story of "why" dog guards house and follow its master to go hunting, "why" cats stay indoor and catch mice, "why" horses provide transportation and "why" cows are to give warm white milk. =)

After reading the stories, you'd know that "elephants used to not have trunks" and "how they have trunks like they do today". =p

How The Whale got His Throat
How The Camel Got His Hump
