Description

In a cozy hollow‑stump bungalow lives Uncle Wiggily, a kindly rabbit who manages his rheumatism with a striped crutch and a bright sense of humor. When Thanksgiving approaches, he teams up with his muskrat housekeeper and the goat Uncle Butter to fetch a perfect pumpkin for a festive pie. Their journey turns comic as a broken wheelbarrow, a runaway pumpkin, and mischievous pig brothers turn the harvest into a lively game of chase, carving, and a surprise Jack‑o‑lantern that even scares off a prowling alligator. Along the way a tiny squiggle bug provides a ticklish wake‑up call, reminding listeners that even small moments can spark big adventures.

The story doesn’t stop at autumn. As winter settles, Uncle Wiggily fashions an ice boat from a wash tub, a board, and sleds, inviting his muskrat companion to glide across the frozen lake. Their chilly outing promises more laughs, a wind, and same warm camaraderie that makes every season feel like a shared celebration. Listeners will enjoy the gentle rhyme, vivid illustrations, and the timeless charm of friends working together through mishaps and merriment.
