Uncle Wiggily's silk hat : or, A tall silk hat may be stylish and also useful; and How Uncle Wiggily brought home company without telling Nurse Jane; also How Uncle Wiggily tried to make salt water taffy

One breezy morning, a rabbit in a tall silk hat sets off for an adventure, quickly discovering that his fashionable headpiece doubles as a handy tool. When a leaky milk pail threatens a friend's breakfast, the hat catches the spill, and later it bails water from a sinking boat and scoops up tumbling sugar. Each rescue turns the skeptical goat companion into a believer in the rabbit’s cleverness.

The collection continues with two more gentle capers. In one, Uncle Wiggily returns home with unexpected company, keeping a secret from the watchful Nurse Jane, while in the other he experiments with a salty confection that’s as tricky to make as it is tasty. Both tales keep the same light, whimsical tone that made the hat adventure so endearing.

Bright illustrations accompany the verses, bringing the woodland characters to life for young listeners. The stories celebrate imagination, kindness, and the notion that a simple accessory can solve big problems. A perfect choice for bedtime or any cozy listening moment.
