The early Uncle Wiggily books were illustrated by Louis Wisa but this one, from 1939, is illustrated, as far as I can tell, by August Lennox. If anyone has contrary info please let me know, the illustrator isn’t credited anywhere in the book. Anyway, I got this book for 1.50 at a book sale! If you ever see any Uncle Wiggily books around they’re totally worth picking up. Thanks to Daney Martin for turning me on to the wonders of Wiggily!
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the kind muskrat lady, who lived with Uncle Wiggily Longears, was in the kitchen clattering away with the pots and pans and kettles. All the while she was singing away like this:
“Merrily today I bake,
Perhaps ’twill be a chocolate cake,
Or E’en a pudding – who can tell?
Uncle Wiggily likes them well,
Puddings, pies – I both can bake;
Now, lets see; what shall I make?”

Beautiful! That muskrat even looks WET.
maybe she is!
