The girls had a lot of fun with this one. My 7 year-old had her all figured out by chapter 7, "I know what she's going to tell them to do..." and she was spot on for the rest of the book. In the end I'd have to say that I prefer a book to have more of a ... plot? I loved the first chapter and even though I enjoyed the silliness of the rest of the book I would have like more of a story. We'll definitely be reading more of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, regardless.

A little out dated but my 4 year old daughter has enjoyed the stories. Fun to read to her and see her imagination spark up.

I loved this book as a child. It was fun to reread, as an adult, in preparation of a granddaughter reading it!

This is a fun book and an awesome read aloud!
My six year old LOVED this, especially the last chapter! And it was a really fun book to read as an adult, which made it the perfect read aloud!

Read chapters from this book aloud to many groups of students. I enjoyed it again except the chapter about the selfish boy, Dick. Perhaps if he had another name it wouldn't bother me, but the part with the children saying, "Don't touch Dick" makes me a bit squeamish.

I was watching Kate Howe's video on her favorite picture books and it made me think of this book. I did not know it was a series and now I am aware of the spin-off series about her niece. This was one of my favorite books of my childhood about a nanny who uses creative methods to teach kids lessons. Like if a kid does not want to clean his room she lets him stay in his messy room, but eventually it gets out of control and he cannot stand it. It is fun and a unique story that is reminiscent of Mary Poppins and Nanny McPhee.
