"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"

— Sean, 4/4/2013" Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has "the magic touch" when it comes from helping children correct their naughty or nasty habits. Each chapter's complete story is hilarious enough to make its "moral" easy to swallow. These are great fun to read aloud with more than one child at a time! "

— Saralyn, 2/16/2012" Humorous and a little bit wacky. It's not an advanced book but its simplicity draws you in. "
— Nix, 1/6/2012" I remember one of my teacher's reading this to me. I had to reread it to see if I remembered it correctly. "
— Denise, 11/18/2011" This was a really good book.Its about a old lady who helps kids get over there behaviorol and other problems.But when she helps them out she does it in a way that make the children not no the parents are trying to cure them. "
— Autumn, 10/19/2011" I love this book! Kids can learn about dealing with their problems from it. They can't do things magically like Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle can, but they can learn that there are good, positive ways to deal with their problems and bad habits. "
— Janae, 7/15/2011" Not as inventive as the first book. Less imaginative cures because everything is magic powder, which makes it less interesting. Also, the chapters are really long, which isn't really a critique of the book but I like to get the bedtime routine over with, you know? "
— Emily, 6/10/2011" AWESOME BOOk!! When i was in 3nd grade!! "
— Radiya, 4/4/2011" Where is Mrs. Piggle- Wiggle? This book was recommended by a third grade student as a "must read." I read the book and enjoyed the story. "
— Isela, 4/1/2011" This one was just okay, the magic pills weren't as good as the other solutions used in the first book. "
— Amy, 1/2/2011" Full of fun and magic. My children loved Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and her antics. This a fun one to read to the children, too. "
— Rusty, 12/4/2010" Some children's books withstand the test of time better than others. This one falls in the "others" category. "
— Kelly, 11/14/2010" This wasn't my favorite Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle book, but the final chapter is especially delightful, with a touch of poignancy that children and adults can both appreciate. "
— Tonydowler, 9/17/2010" I read this to my children. They really liked it, even though it is old fashioned. It was a hard book to read aloud because there are incredibly long sentences and very little punctuation. "
— Bobbi, 9/2/2010" Here again Ryan and I are conflicted - he really liked this book and wants to listen to it again. I didn't really like it. Though it had some good messages, the presentation was old-fashioned and degrading. "
— Tiffiny, 7/14/2010" It isnt so much a story unto itself but a series of short stories to try to get kids to see there is a better way. I made my daughter read "bad table manners cure" outloud. Now I just need to get my hands on a few of these potions .... "
— Twyla, 5/14/2010" This was a great read aloud for my kids. Ages 3, 6, 8 and 10 were laughing their heads off...although the 3 year old was mostly laughing at her siblings reactions. It was nice to find something they all enjoyed that was new to me too. "
