How the Whale Got His Throat

---

How the Whale Got His Throat is a delightful retelling of one of Rudyard Kipling's famous "Just So Stories," adapted for early readers by Heather Adams. The story tells the tale of a giant whale that eats every fish in the sea until only one small, clever "Stute Fish" remains. The whale eventually swallows a shipwrecked mariner, who uses his ingenuity to escape by fixing a wooden grate in the whale's throat. This classic "pourquoi" tale humorously explains why whales—despite their massive size—can only eat tiny pieces of food, blending adventure with folklore and imagination.
