Howard R. Garis 
UNCLE WIGGILY’S SQUIRT GUN and other Adventures 

UNCLE WIGGILY’S SQUIRT GUN is the 25th Uncle Wiggily picture book and contains 3 stories with 29 colour illustrations. The stories in this volume are UNCLE WIGGILY’S SQUIRT GUN or JACK FROST ICICLE MAKER, UNCLE WIGGILY’S QUEER UMBRELLAS and UNCLE WIGGILY’S LEMONADE STAND.

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

Howard R. Garis . He began writing the stories for the Newark News in 1910.
