Uncle Wiggily Bedtime Stories (Children's Thrift Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful wonderful wonderful
Review: I am 60 years old; when I was a child of 5 or so, my mother got me the Uncle Wiggily stories; I still love them! They are charming with true Christian values; I was of a Jewish household, but recognized this many years later when I converted to Christianity. They teach love and generosity of spirit, while being entertaining, and funny. I still shudder at the thought of the Skillery-Skallery Alligator and the Skeezix. Every child should have dozens of these books by Howard R. Garis!

Summary: Splendid but nearly forgotten
Review: I was an early reader, and no stories pleased me more than the Uncle Wiggly ones. They were interesting and ethically instructive. I now have a baby girl, and she will be reading these creative tales rather than those that sent poor William Bennet down the road to becoming The Gambling Gourmand.

Summary: Great book for kids of all ages
Review: Uncle Wiggily was one of the stories I remembered my dad reading to me when I was about 3 or 4. It was my favorite bedtime story. I was surprised to find it still in print all these years later, but I guess I ought not to be. The stories are funny and timeless. A joy to kids and the parent reading will enjoy them too. And they always end with a cute line such as "If the rubber hose doesn't tie itself in a knot and rub molasses all over the postman's umbrella, I'll tell you the (next story.)" Since the copyrights have expired the price so low no parent ought to be without it.
