Uncle Wiggily has the same appeal as a Dr. Seuss book. The characters are whimsical, the art appealing, and the rhymes help struggling readers. As a high school English teacher, I sometimes get asked by friends to help their children who are having trouble learning to read. I always bring out my Uncle Wiggily game, which has been in my family for about 30 years. Now I am delighted to be able to buy a copy for a friend's family, whose children always ask to play the game when they come over. Call it nostalgia or call it Peter Pan Syndrome...I still enjoy the game myself!

I was so excited to find the Uncle Wiggly games for my grandkids. We had been playing an old game of my childhood and they loved it.

The new version is so "dumbed-down" that the kids don't even ask to play that one. They want to play the old one. For example: the path goes only to 100 instead of 151. The paths don't intertwine as in the old game. It's much too easy and obvious; even kids catch on to that!!!!

I grew up with this game as a kid and then my nieces and nephews grew up on it. We have nearly destroyed our original board game from so many played games. I have looked in the stores and done a few web searched in the past to no avail. But today I found it! I just ordered a few for my great niece and great nephew. I know they will grow up with fond memories of laying on the floor playing this game as their two previous generations had. You will enjoy playing this game with your kids as I did mine.
