Fell in love with the Piggly Wiggly Series!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I can't begin to tell you how very much I enjoyed reading 'Kissing Babies at the Piggly Wiggly'. I already felt close to the characters when I read 'Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly' but this book made me want to meet the Nitwits and Mr. Choppy even more. It is one of the most refreshing and entertaining books I have read in awhile. The author did an amazing job of writing this book and keeping the reader involved with the action. I found myself laughing out loud so many times and smiling through most of the book. I really hated for it to end. I wanted to hear more news of the Nitwits and what was to become of this town of Second Creek. My southern roots drew me to this charming book but I am sure those from any area would enjoy meeting the Nitwits and other folks in Second Creek and reading about all of the crazy things they do in their journey through life. I highly recommend this book and I long for more of the series.
A surprisingly suspenseful trip into the wild world of Second Creek

What a wonderful world Robert Dalby has created in Second Creek! Kissing Babies is another fun filled romp with his now familiar characters. The entire election is such a page-turner and keeps you in suspense until the very end! A great summer read, although it fits well in any season. I hope to see more books from Mr Dalby and hopefully more from this series!
Second Creek Revisited
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This sequel to Waltzing At The Piggly Wiggly adds more depth to the quirky characters in Second Creek, Mississippi, as Mr. Choppy, the beloved former owner of the Piggly Wiggly, runs for mayor against the cheesy, long-time incumbent Mr. Floyce, who has the instincts of a Vegas lounge singer. The Nitwitts are back--those widows of a 'certain' age--supporting Mr. Choppy to the hilt with their own radio spots. Happily, Mr. Choppy's long-last love, Gaylie Girl Lyons, whom he reconnected with after fifty years in the first novel, returns, providing more 'autumn years' romance. Along the way, there is a bit of tragedy and a lot of chicanery before we get to the results of the mayoral election. Second Creek is a universe I love visiting, and I heartily recommend it to others.
Great Sequel

I was given an advance copy of "Kissing Babies". If you enjoyed "Waltzing", it would be almost impossible not to like "Kissing." The entire plot fits tightly together like a puzzle with a few twists & turns at the end, of course, which I won't reveal.
