UNCLE WIGGILY goes SWIMMING is the 18th Uncle Wiggily picture book by Howard Garis and contains 3 action-packed children’s stories with 29 colourful illustrations. The extra 2 stories in this volume are UNCLE WIGGILY DISTRIBUTES THANKSGIVING CAKES and THE BUNNY RABBIT GENTLEMAN MAKES A KITE. 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 with a picture per page. 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. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book is donated to charities.
