These colorful pourquoi stories are an ideal springboard to inspire students to write their own how and why inventions! Rudyard Kipling - a magician of words. Jackson Gillman - the Stand-Up Chameleon. Put them together and you will see why the timeless Just So Stories have been adored by many generations worldwide. Students will be exposed to Kipling's literary eloquence and to Jackson's animated performing style. Jackson has portrayed Rudyard-in-Residence at Kipling's historic Vermont home and has been making these stories come alive for decades. "Mr. Kipling" frames the show himself, and after Jackson's telling, welcomes the students' questions about his writing process.
