Elsie and her new friends act out five animal stories using performance and varied theatrical possibilities.
Elsie’s reluctance about the final story leads to learning something about herself and her friends.
The play includes five of Kipling’s Just So Stories, including tales about the camel, rhinoceros and elephant.
Elsie’s parents are away during the visit, and she is unexpectedly reluctant to enact the final story.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
