Childhood favorite
Growing up, Uncle Wiggily's Friends was a favorite of my sisters and mine.The stories and illustrations are great.My three year old son loves these stories, especially Uncle Wiggily and the Snow Plow.The stories have great examples for teaching universal values.We have the 1955 edition with illustrations by the author, which I think are more appealing than the stories illustrated by others.

My first memories of reading!
Uncle Wiggily and his Friends by Howard R. Garis was one of the firstbooks I remember reading (or having read to me).Uncle Wiggily Longears isa "rabbit gentleman."He has a kind heart, goes on interestingadventures and teaches children life lessons.

I have the 1955 edition,complete with a green cloth cover.I will never part with it, even thoughit has scribble marks in it.It is in fact the copy I had when I was aboutseven years old and has been to Africa and back.

My favorite story is"Uncle Wiggly and the Apple Dumpling."While I had never tastedone as a child, I sure wanted to!It looked delicious.It is no wonder Iwas intrigued when one of my mother's friends made such a dessert.Yearslater I wrote to her and requested the recipe.I also love the littlepoems at the end of each story.

If you are looking for a book withold-fashioned warmth, line drawings, full-page color pictures and animalsthat take on human personalities, this is a book you will treasure.

~The Rebecca Review

Collection of kind hearted stories with great art.
This is a wonderful book appropriate for all children.I have the 1986 printing indicating copyrights of 1939 and 1955 by The Platt & Munk Co., Inc. a division of Grosset & Dunlap (ISBN 0-448-40504-0).Manycolor and B & W drawings are presented in a detailed style common forthe period.A typical page is half text and half art.There are simplerhymes accompanying each story.My children enjoy the stories whichinclude tales about helping neighbors in a variety of needs, e.g. beingsnowbound,or cold.Uncle Wiggily and the Apple Dumpling is a favoritestory of my family.The sled and canoe tales are also popular.There are8 stories in all. The artwork is by George Carlson.This book ought to bereprinted. - Cedric Richeson

UW was read to me as a child, fond memories.
Uncle Wiggly stories were read to me as a pre-school and early grades bed-time routine.Anticipating the next adventure is a fond memory. The problem-solving and very proper bunny gentleman gives a life's lesson that there are clever and common sense approaches to problems that suddenly arise, and that there are continuous problems that surprise our lives.We are now reading these stories to our 4.5 year old (for the last year) and she brings me the books every night.I'm Professor of Biochemistry at LSU.

I RELATE TO UNCLE WIGGILY ,EVEN AS AN ADULT
The most proper Mr. Rabbitt, and his Nephew were able to successfully survive on LemonAide and IceCream, when their hot air balloon would accidently land on deserted islands. A series of stories relating to making the best of things in life.. I grew up with his stories and ended up living in Hawaii for the past 27 years!And sucessfully too ... Read more

A Ruined Classic
I love "The Littlest Angel" by Charles Tazewell illustrated by Katherine Evans.It is precious and fun, but, having read this version, encourage people to look for the original.For those of you who don't like big words, this is a good version because they have changed the original text and omitted many of the quaint words our society has almost lost from our collective vocabulary.

A venerable story for all ages and generations
Bought the book to quote from on Pledge Sunday at out church. It's about GIVING. The Littlest Angel gave the one thing that was most precious to him to Jesus for Christmas. I gave the book as a Christmas present to my two year old grand daughter. The book evoked wonderful memories of reading it as a child.

Disappointed with size
I was disappointed in the size of the book.There was no indication that the book was smaller than what is in the stores.Dimensions for the book would have been very helpful.Also, there was no dust jacket, also not noted in the details of the book.I had to go to our local store and buy a copy that would be appropriate for a Christmas gift.

Artwork ruins a beautiful classic
I loved this book as a child, and I was excited to find it still in print so that I can share it with my children.The story is an enjoyable classic; however, the illustrations are bizarre and unappealing.Some pictures that show just the little boy's face are sweet.Unfortunately, heaven is rendered in a dark, cold, abstract way that is reminiscent of outer space.Save your money--skip this copy in favor of one of the classic versions.

Littlest Angel Review
Nothing like the original, it's been dumbed down and the drawings are too 21st century.Not my thing at all - I was looking for the book o my childhood! ... Read more
