Publisher's Summary:

When Hale "Mr. Choppy" Dunbar decides to run for mayor in his hometown of Second Creek, Mississippi, Laurie Lepanto and her new husband, Powell Hampton, insist on managing his campaign. Even though his family-owned store, the Piggly Wiggly, was forced to close, Hale Dunbar is still beloved in Second Creek. After all, life in the town is all about having a strong sense of community - albeit a quirky Mississippi Delta sense of community.

Backed by the Nitwitts, the town's most influential and enjoyably eccentric widows, Laurie and Powell begin plotting the kind of genuine, down-home mayoral campaign that will assure Hale's victory over his opponent: the self-serving, obnoxious Floyce Hammontree, who frankly would have preferred a career as a lounge singer. Along the way, Gaylie Girl, Hale's long-lost love, returns to Second Creek to shake things up even more.

But regardless of the challenges they are faced with - strange weather, backroom bribery, or the illness of one of Laurie's dear Nitwitts - the former boss of the Piggly Wiggly and his team find a way to outdo themselves once again.

Reminds me of home.

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! If you grew up in the south you will love the humor. If you find my review helpful please hit yes thank you.

Fell in love with the Piggly Wiggly Series!

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.

Five Stars

fun, exciting book

Hit Sequel

Sequel was as enchanting as the first novel in the trilogy.

Loved the series

A series that makes you feel good. The small town scenario, local people doing good, and happy endings. Not deep writing that you have to stop and figure out but good for a rainy afternoon and a few laughs.
