Description

Uncle Wiggely, the kindly rabbit with a wrench in his pocket, loves to tinker with his homemade automobile. When Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy asks for a spin, he proudly shows off a car he’s just fixed, only to have it wobble on two wheels and race around a tree like a game of Ring Around the Rosie. The lively narration captures the delight of a sunny day turned into a slap‑stick ride, with witty dialogue and bright illustrations that bring the scene to life.

Soon the auto careens through the meadow, barely staying on course as the mischievous Skillery Skallery Alligator lunges after them, shouting for a taste of “ear‑nibbles.” Uncle Wiggely’s quick thinking—talking to the car, dusting the radiator with talcum powder—keeps his passengers safe while the chase turns into a hilarious sprint. Listeners will be swept up by the playful rhythm and the gentle message that a little ingenuity and kindness can steer even the wildest escapades back on track.
