Over dit e-boek

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE PIRATES is the 15th Uncle Wiggily picture book and contains 3 stories with 29 colour illustrations. The stories in this volume are UNCLE WIGGILY and the PIRATES or THE BOB CAT NEARLY SPOILED A NUTTING PARTY plus UNCLE WIGGILY AND NURSE JANE GATHER MAY FLOWERS.

As with everything Uncle Wiggily gets involved in, each story is an engaging adventure in itself.

Each story is short enough to be read to 3 to 5 year olds at bed time with bright, colourful images to keep children engaged throughout the story.

UNCLE WIGGILY is an engaging elderly rabbit and is lame from rheumatism. Wherever he goes, he always relies on a red, white, and blue crutch—described as being "striped like a barber-pole", or, in later episodes, "his candy-striped walking cane", with spiral red and white striping like a peppermint candy stick.
