- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the first level, and the text is appropriately simple. It is a "pourquoi" story telling how the rhino got his rough, baggy skin. Rhino had bad manners. He once stole a cake from a man. The man got revenge when Rhino took off his skin and went for a swim, for the man put crumbs into the skin left on the shore. Rhino put it on and scratched, rolled, and rubbed. His skin then got caught on a tree, and he lost his buttons. He could no longer remove his skin. "Now Rhino has baggy skin and a bad temper and the man has a smile." The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
