Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has been wildly popular with children and adults for over 50 years. Children adore her because she understands them--and because her upside-down house is always filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies, and her backyard with buried treasure. Grownups love her because her magical common sense solutions to children's problems succeed when their own cajoling and yelling don't. For the child who refuses to bathe, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle recommends letting her be. Wait until the dirt on her body has accumulated to half an inch, then scatter radish seeds on her arms and head. When the plants start sprouting, the nonbather is guaranteed to change her mind about that bath. Hilary Knight's (Eloise, Sunday Morning) delightful pictures provide lively, droll accompaniment to Betty MacDonald's refreshing stories. Whether Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is curing Answer-Backers or Slow-Eater-Tiny-Bite-Takers, her remedies always work like a charm. More than one parent over the years has surreptitiously turned to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle when Dr. Spock failed to come through. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

 The Original Love and Logic May 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I believe it was my third grade teacher that began reading these to me, and instantly I was hooked. Betty MacDonald is an authoress who can write to both adults and children with fine hilarity, and her character Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle makes Mary Poppins look like a moron. I find her the progeny to the Love and Logic system. The book is filled with multiple stories about kids with various, common behavior problems. Concerned parents call up Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle who then doles out a hilarious but effective cure. It's fairly scripted, but the stories are cute and funny just the same.
 Don't want to eat, bathe, go to bed or comb your hair? January 6, 2008
For every problem every parent and child has faced over the years, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has a magnificent solution that will surpass the iterventions of Dr. Spock, Supernanny, or even Dr. Phil!
The characters are so wonderful and the stories so creatively written that children will be spellbound by these books. Even non-readers will be captivated.
Wonderful reading!
 A wonderful magical book December 12, 2007
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is a great book. The author is Betty MacDonald. The book is about a lady who is magic. She goes to kids and all the kids have a problem with manners. Some are bad listeners, whiners, and so on. It is a fantasy story.
The big part of the story is when Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle starts helping out all the children with bad manners. For each kid with bad manners she has a cure. She loves to play pretend and be funny. All the kids, after she cured them, had wonderful imagination and have proper manners. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is always happy and loves children.
I recommend this book to all kids six years old to kids that are nine years old, also to people who love humor and Fantasy. This book will boost the kid's imagination after they read the book. This book is full of humor. It was a great book to me and hopefully to you!!
