If you like the other Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books (like my daughter does) then you'll like this one because it's more of the same.

We read the first chapter of this and Caitlyn didn't really get into it. She's asked that we save it for when she's older. I'll try again next year...

This wasn't as good as the first book we read. My 5 year old got bored with it, though he was enamored with the first one. It was still enjoyable to read, but I was bothered that she had "magic" cures in this one with powders and other things, when she had normal cures in the first book that I could actually implement myself in my parenting. It was written for kids though, so still fun for them to read.

Oh my goodness. I had forgotten how much I loved the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books. Every book is a collection of children with bad manners who are taught how to behave through some magical cure provided by Mrs. P-W. This particular book includes the tattle-tale cure (every time the children tattle, a big cloud with a tail forms above their heads), the interrupter cure (when someone tries to interrupt, their mouth either stays open or opens and shuts without noise), the sloppy eater cure (pig teaches child how to eat)and, one of my favorites, the cure for a heedless child (pills that make the child slow down so she has time to think before she breaks things.
Of course, none of these would work for today's kids (notwithstanding the fact that none of these things actually exist) but it's still a cute lesson for kids on how to behave.
