Synopsis

In this delightful retelling of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale, a mischievous rhinoceros with smooth skin and poor manners steals a Parsee man's cake. Seeking revenge, the Parsee fills the rhino's skin with tickly cake crumbs while the rhino bathes. Upon returning, the rhino's itchy discomfort leads him to rub his skin into folds, explaining how rhinoceroses got their wrinkly skin. Daron Parton's vibrant illustrations bring this humorous story to life, captivating young readers.
