Summary "Uncle Wiggily and Old Mother Hubbard" by Howard Roger Garis is a children's book featuring whimsical tales written in the early 20th century. The book follows the adventures of Uncle Wiggily Longears, a charming old rabbit gentleman, alongside various characters from nursery rhymes, particularly Mother Goose. Through a series of light-hearted and engaging episodes, this story weaves together imagination and morality, appealing to young readers through its playful narratives and relatable characters. The opening of the story introduces Uncle Wiggily Longears and his housekeeper, Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, as they live peacefully in the woods among their animal friends. When Uncle Wiggily sets off on an errand in his whimsical airship, he encounters Mother Goose, who delivers troubling news that his home has burned down. Despite the loss, Uncle Wiggily remains optimistic and gracious, considering various options for lodging offered by friends like Old Mother Hubbard. He decides to temporarily move in with friends until he can rebuild his home, setting the tone for the kindness and camaraderie that characterizes the rest of the adventures that follow in the book.
