In his Just So series of stories, Rudyard Kipling drew inspiration from the tales told to him as a child in India, featuring animals at the beginning of time, when they had the power of speech. The timeless quality of the stories has kept children captivated for generations, and are retold in these programs by Jackson Gillman, who keeps all the charm of the originals, and adds a touch of the modern. Rudyard Kipling's Just So: How the Whale Got His Throat tells of the whale who has eaten all the fish in the world except one, who advises him to try the taste of a man.
