About this audiobook

Long ago, in the days of the cave people, a little girl named Taffy and her father, Tegumai, are fishing. Taffy is clever and bold, and one day she has an idea no one had before. She sets out to make a picture that says something, a mark for a sound. This is Rudyard Kipling's tale of how the first alphabet was made, from the Just So Stories. Richard Stibbard reads it in twenty-two minutes. For children and families who like Kipling's playful, sing-song style and a little invention along the way.
