Overview
These stories are typical examples of the "origin" story, where children are provided with imaginative rather than practical explanations for the "why" "what" "how" "where" "who" "when" questions of childhood.

They relate how a particular creature is altered from an original form into its present appearance either by a magical spirit or a human being. So the reader encounters wonderful and fantastical reasons why The Whale Got Its Throat, The Camel Got Its Hump, The Rhinoceros Got Its Skin, How the Alphabet was Made, and so on...
