My girls loved this book! Very entertaining read aloud. My 6 year old said “I want to give it one hundred million stars. I love Mrs Piggle Wiggle so much!”

The Piggle-Wiggle series is so fun! I remember reading all of them as a kid and thought THEN that they were pretty captivating. Now I would call them enchanting, lots of fun.

Each chapter is kind of it's own little story. We loved Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and only wished the book was a little more about her.

- I wish Mrs. Piggle Wiggle were real, and that her cures for all sorts of behaviors really worked. It would be amazing!
- I loved reading this as a kid. I remember wanting a neighbor like Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. It was still fun to read as an adult. I love books that you can read at any age.
- My daughter read this by herself, and she enjoyed it. She thought it was really funny. I kinda wish we had read it together. It would be a fun book to read aloud.
- I recommend this to everyone!

I remember loving the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books when I was in elementary school. I had hoped they would still be entertaining for Violet to listen to me read to her now, 30 years after I read them (and 70 years after they were written), and they were (Violet was delighted with the cures and kept asking for more).
But what I did not expect was to be chuckling myself at the sly humor that Betty MacDonald snuck in that is still so funny as a mom today (the conversations with the other mothers and the increasingly absurd names - brilliant!). Sure, there are some gender role stereotypes of the era, and some references to “Indians” and weight that I omitted/rephrased, but this book is still a gem.

Parents in one city turn to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle for ludicrous child rearing tips and Saw style punishments to correct various behaviors. More a series of macabre short stories than a novel, really.
