Uncle Wiggily's Travels

Uncle Wiggily Longears is a rabbit of refined manners and considerable optimism. When he sets off to find his fortune, he carries nothing but his walking stick, his whiskers, and the belief that something wonderful awaits at the end of a moonbeam. What he finds instead is a world of narrow escapes from mischievous boys, kind animal friends with small troubles of their own, and the quiet joy of being exactly who you are. This sequel to the beloved Uncle Wiggily stories follows our bucktoothed hero as he wanders from farm to forest, encountering a red squirrel worried about her tail for a party, a friendly little boy in red trousers, and any number of gentle perils. The adventures are small and the stakes are low, but that's precisely the point. Garis understood something essential about childhood: not every journey needs to save the world. Sometimes a rabbit just needs to learn that his own company is his greatest treasure. Perfect for reading aloud or for newly independent readers discovering the pleasure of a chapter book.
