"Brother," says the hump-tailed 'gator, "wouldn't you like a nice rabbit?"

"Indeed I would," answers the double-jointed tail 'gator, who can wobble his flippers both ways. "And I know of no nicer rabbit than Uncle Wiggily Longears!"

As it so happens, Uncle Wiggily has just planned his vacation. He and Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy will leave the countryside and take a nice little bungalow in the woods.

And the woods is where these two skillery-scalery alligators live -- who are not exactly friends of the bunny uncle! But the cheerful rabbit gentleman knows plenty of friendlier creatures, too -- whom readers young and old will delight in meeting, in Uncle Wiggily in the Woods.
