For those of you who have never heard about Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, get ready for a good time. All the kids in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s neighborhood love to come over to her house for ginger-snaps and treasure hunting. You see, Mr. Piggle -Wiggle used to be a pirate, and supposedly buried treasure in the backyard. And being the nice lady that she is, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle invites all of the kids to dig for it.

The other thing that’s interesting about the Piggle-Wiggle house is that it is upside down! The roof is in the basement, and the basement is way up high. Sounds pretty cool, huh? Well there’s one more thing that you should know: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle can cure the problems that kids are plagued with. Problems like interrupting, being sloppy, tattle-tailing and talking back. The cures always come in interesting forms (like mysterious powders that the parents sprinkle in the kids’ ears while they are sleeping), and they always work in very amusing ways.

You’ll enjoy reading Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle by Betty MacDonald and looking at the fun drawings which illustrate the cures in action. You might want to have someone soft and smart just like her in your life to do a bit of gentle magic too.
