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.

"Loved these books when I was growing up. I'll never forget the story about the child who wouldn't wash behind their ears. Mrs Piggle Wiggle plants radish seeds in the dirt! Wow, that story made such an impression on me. Needless to say, I wash behind my ears every day. Lesson learned"
