Notes
1902 (UK, US, Canada) and 1907 (US: Doubleday, Page) editions do not include the so-called Introduction (Just So Stories) that preceded the first story in the collection, "How the Whale Got His [Tiny] Throat", when it was first published, in the December 1897 issue of St. Nicholas under the heading 'The "Just-So" Stories'.
Those editions simply begin with the whale story on page 1 (1902) or page 3 (1907). Both end with a final verse on page 249, and the last six stories begin on the same numbered page in both eds.—rather than two pages later in the 1907 ed., as the first six stories.

HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of one copy with original cover
-- title page dated 1902, inscribed by Kipling apparently, in verse
-- Contents, unnumbered, and text, p[1]-249, evidently identical to 1st US ed. (1st, 3rd, 5th printings viewed at HathiTrust)

Front cover apparently matches that of 1st US ed., 3rd and 5th printings Dec 1902 and Dec 1903 (all three viewed at HathiTrust, whose copy of 1st printing lacks original cover).
Cover illustration is one for "The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo" that shows Old Man Kangaroo with his new hind legs, pursued by Yellow-Dog Dingo (page 93).
