And half the fun of nearly everything, you know, is thinking about it beforehand, or afterward… These delightful stories will captivate today's young readers as much as they did youngsters in the early twentieth century. Howard Garis (1873–1962) was a budding reporter for the Newark Evening News when he first started writing stories for children about a delightful rabbit named Uncle Wiggily. Calling them "bedtime stories" (in all likelihood the first time the term was used), he created a popular syndicated series that eventually totaled hundreds of tales. This high quality volume includes 26 of the best stories from the series, relating the long-eared cottontail's adventures with Little Boy Blue, Little Bo-Peep, Jack and Jill, Jack Horner, Miss Muffet, and other lovable characters.

"Ha! Hum!" said Dr. Possum, again looking very wise. "You need a change of air! You must travel about. Go on a journey, get out and see strange birds, and pick the pretty flowers. You don't get exercise enough." "Exercise enough!" cried Uncle Wiggily. "Why, my goodness me sakes alive and a bunch of lilacs! Don't I play checkers almost every night with Grandfather Goosey Gander?" But the old rabbit gentleman took the doctor's advice -- and what did he do first but leap right into a bear's den of dangers!

Once upon a time, after Uncle Wiggily Longears, the nice bunny rabbit gentleman, had some funny adventures with Baby Bunty, and when he found that his rheumatism did not hurt him so much as he hopped on his red, white and blue striped barber pole crutch, the bunny uncle wished he might have some strange and wonderful adventures."I think I'll just hop along and look for a few," said Uncle Wiggily to himself one morning. He twinkled his pink nose, and then he was all ready to start."Good-bye, Nurse Jane! Good-bye!" he called to his muskrat lady housekeeper, with whom he lived in a hollow stump bungalow. "I'm going to look for some wonderful adventures!" He hopped down the front steps, with his red, white and blue striped crutch under one paw, and his tall, silk hat on his head. "Good-bye, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy!"
