I discovered Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle<\/em> at the age of 12. I fell in love with her, and I am now reading these stories to my 4- and 6- year-old sons.<\/p>\n

There are four books in the series by Betty MacDonald: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Hello Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s Farm, <\/em>and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s Magic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is a wonderful friend to children and parents. She knows just how children like to be treated, and she knows just how to treat the common childhood ailments — afflictions that turn good kids into Answer-Backers, Showoffs, Crybabies, Interrupters, Fraidy-Cats, or Slow-Eater-Tiny-Bite-Takers. She also knows how to deal with other problems, like kids who won’t pick up toys, don’t want to take baths, or won’t go to bed.<\/p>\n

The cures for these problems are quirky, funny, and very appropriate. The Won’t Take a Bath cure, for instance, is completed when Patsy wakes up one morning to discover little radishes growing in the dirt on her arms!<\/p>\n

Every kid should get to know Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, and every parent should become her friend. These are great read-aloud books, and I’ve found, since introducing my kids to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, that she’s an effective discipline tool. “What would Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle do to help you with this problem?” is now a favorite question at our house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
