Publisher Description

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle loves everyone, and everyone loves her right back. The Children love her because she is lots of fun. Their parents love her because she can cure children of absolutely any bad habit. The treatments are unusual, but they work! Who better than a pig, for instance, to teach a piggy little boy table manners? And what better way to cure the rainy-day “waddle-I-do’s” than hunt for pirate treasure in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s upside-down house? “Each of these stories has obviously been told over and over to delighted children, who must throng around their author as the youngsters in the book do around Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle herself.” — The Chicago Tribune

"This book makes me smile every time I open it. The old-fashioned innocence of a simpler time mixed with the most spectacularly creative magical cures ever gets me every time. I wish every neighborhood had a Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle for correcting bad behavior. Plus, the last chapter with the treasure hunt for the last of the hidden money is nothing short of a child's dream come true. By far my favorite of all her books."

    " I read this series to my kids at the beginning of every school year. They love it! The whole series is great for tacking some of those "quirks" that kids have such as tattling, picking up after themselves, listening, crying (over the tiniest of things!) and bad table manners! What a fun way to teach kids how to treat themselves and others! Classics from my childhood that have stood the test of time! "

    " 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? "
