UNCLE WIGGILY and OLD MOTHER HUBBARD
关于此电子书
Out in the woods lives a happy gentleman rabbit named Uncle Wiggily Longears. He is as fond of fun as a kitten, and goes out to play whenever young ones come to visit.
One chilly, wintry day he leaves his cozy bungalow and puts on his jacket, scarf and mittens and goes for a ride in his wonderful airship. Once aloft he meets with a big surprise: for he sees a great white gander flying toward him -- with Mother Goose riding on its back!
But what happens next you may ask, I most certainly would!
In this volume Uncle Wiggily faces a host of new adventures -- and makes a wealth of new friends to enjoy them with. He meets Little Bo Peep, Jack Horner, Simple Simon, Miss Muffett, and Old King Cole. These are just a few of the nursery-rhyme characters the happy rabbit gentleman meets!
Expect to see your children spending hours curled up on their beds, or the couch, on a rainy afternoon lost in Uncle Wiggily stories.

作者简介
Howard Roger Garis (April 25, 1873 – November 6, 1962) was an American author, best known for a series of books that featured the character of Uncle Wiggily Longears, an engaging elderly rabbit. Many of his books were illustrated by Lansing Campbell. Garis and his wife, Lilian Garis, were possibly the most prolific children's authors of the early 20th century.
The first Uncle Wiggily story appeared January 10, 1910, in the Newark News. For almost four decades the newspaper published an Uncle Wiggily story by Garis every day except Sunday, and the series was eventually nationally syndicated. By the time Garis retired from the newspaper in 1947, he had written more than 15,000 Uncle Wiggily stories.
By virtue of his accessible characters and engaging plots, Garis was one of the most influential children's authors of his day. Many of his books, especially the Uncle Wiggily books, are still widely read and are readily available over the internet. Milton Bradley produced an Uncle Wiggily board game in 1916, 1947, 1954, again in 1967,[2] and again in 1988. The game debuted much earlier though and remained popular until the 1970s.
