There was a new "Uncle Wiggily Bedtime Story" every working day, six stories a week, and each one ended with a humorous little closing that set the mind spinning and told the title of the next story to come.The Evening News had become the first paper anywhere to hand-deliver a serialized bedtime story just in time for Morns and Dads to read their youngsters off to sleep.

The stories were soon running in daily papers around the country and beyond. The tales were amusing and adventurous but not frightening, and the characters had delightful names and charming expressions.Children loved them.

The Littletails are a delightful family of long-eared bunny rabbits who live in a cozy burrow. The family includes Susie; Sammie; their muskrat nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy; Mamma; Papa; and Uncle Wiggily Longears.

The exciting day-to-day adventures of the lovable Littletails are brought to life here in 15 charming stories--each told with gentle humor by author Howard Garis. Young readers (and listeners) will learn what happened when Sammie and Susie tried to help Mrs.Wren, how Sammie got caught in a trap, why the Littletails had to move, and much more.

First published over 85 years ago in the Newark Evening News,these appealing bedtime stories, accompanied by 29 new illustrations, will delight today"s youngsters as much as they entertained children generations ago.
