Once upon a time, the leopard was as plain and sandy-yellow as the plains where he hunted. So how did he get his spots? This charmingly illustrated adaptation of one of Rudyard Kipling’s ‘Just So Stories’ is part of the Usborne Reading Programme, specially written for children who are learning to read.

I like the part that the leopard and his friend met two other animals and they taught them how to hide but the leopard couldn't hide because he is light skinned. The human painted black spots on the leopard then he could hide.
