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 Product Description: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside-down house and smells like cookies. She was even married to a pirate once. Most of all, she knows everything about children. She can cure them of any ailment. Patsy hates baths. Hubert never puts anything away. Allen eats v-e-r-y slowly. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has a treatment for all of them. From the Audio Download edition. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - laughs everywhereThis is a family favorite. I think it is better for reading out than as a chapter book, because reading it out loud together lets the parents in on the fun. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle uses reverse psychology to change children's bad habits. Of course the situations are exaggerated, but they are funny and the children in the book are encouraged to be pleasant, responsive, responsible people. The parents are funny, too -- the dads are absorbed in work and lesiure pursuits, the moms hyperventilate ... Read More Rating: - Great Books - Box SetThis is a set of four books: Mrs Piggle Wiggle, Mrs Piggle Wiggle's Farm, Mrs Piggle Wiggle's Magic, and Hello, Mrs Piggle Wiggle. Good way to get the set. Rating:  - The Original Love and LogicI 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. ... Read More Rating: - Don't want to eat, bathe, go to bed or comb your hair? 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! Rating: - You Can't Beat Mrs. Piggle WiggleIf you want good ol' fashioned stories that have upstanding morals, self discipline, and wisdom at their core, then these are the books for you. My grade school teachers read these to us and now I read them to my kids. These are truly timeless stories that should never go out of style. They are great for bedtime as most of them or pretty short.
