1919
Uncle Wiggily is a rabbit of exceptional gentleness, a gentleman bunny who believes that every creature deserves kindness, no matter how small. When he discovers a weary June Bug resting in his garden, the bunny offers it shelter without a second thought. But generosity has a way of returning when least expected. When Uncle Wiggily and two young goat companions fall into a pit dug by the mischievous Bazumpus, it is the very June Bug he helped who comes to the rescue, rallying dozens of fellow insects to build a ladder of grass that saves the day. The story continues with Uncle Wiggily's encounter with a paint-covered alligator and ends with a gentle garden adventure, each chapter reinforcing that even the smallest creatures can accomplish mighty things when they work together. First published in 1919, this is early children's literature at its most wholesome: animals behaving with civility, mischief leading to resolution, and every story ending with warmth. Young readers will find a friend in this kindly bunny who treats every encounter as an opportunity for grace.
