A review by meghanlee
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald

3.0

I used to love this book as a kid and my daughter loved it as we read it together. But, OH MY, it is SO dated. It was written in 1947 and it was really wretched for me to slog though it! My 5 year old enjoyed it, but I did not so I rated it a happy middle ground 3 :) It was actually hard for me to read some of the family dialogue...the fathers...oh, the dated fathers...and the women...oh, it makes my stomach hurt a little. Just kidding, but really it made me glad for our current marriage and parenthood standards.
