Uncle Wiggily's Story Book

I happened upon a CD of Uncle Wiggily stories and sent it to my 3 year old Grandson who loves books. My Daughter says he listens to it everyday and loves that he can imagine what the characters look like. I have to listen carefully when I talk to him on the phone because he wants to tell me all about Uncle Wiggily and his adventures. I am so glad to find the book now, which I will give him for Easter so he can see what the characters actually look like. I also grew up with Uncle Wiggily and working in the medical field used to call my co-workers Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. Thanks for not forgetting about the time tested warm, sweet books of old. I am thrilled to introduce a favorite from my past.

My Favorite Book of All Time!

I grew up with my Dad reading Uncle Wiggily stories to me and my two sisters almost every night. This is a memory that I treasure forever. The stories in this book are very heartwarming and teach life lessons. This was my favorite book growing up and I distinctly remember begging for just one more story before I had to go to bed! I highly recommend this as a bedtime story book!

The World According to Uncle Wiggily

This is a precious collection of stories, in chapter form detailing adventures of Uncle Wiggily, the bunny rabbit gentleman, who understands people talk, and dedicates his life to helping other animals and children. When I started reading this book to my six year old, it took a couple of stories for him to become involved in the book. After that, he loved the stories, and begged for a new one each night. These stories are set in such an innocent time, that is requires adjustment from most children initially to get involved, compared to the books and television shows that are currently available. The book provides imaginative stories that promote virtuous behavior. While each story addresses a different plot, each involves some of the same characters. I would highly recommend this book as a permanent addition to your children's library. Each of our subsequent children have loved it!

Books like this one are rare jewels.

Uncle Wiggily is a bunny rabbit gentleman and philanthropist. With the help of Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, he helps the animal children, as well as real boys and girls to learn life lessons. This is a charming look at life before televisions and computers, where children can learn vocabulary from the past, and life lessons that are enduring.
