Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
by Betty MacDonald
from HarperCollins
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has been wildly popular with children and adults for over 50 years. Children adore her because she understands them--and because her upside-down house is always filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies, and her backyard with buried treasure. Grownups love her because her magical common sense solutions to children's problems succeed when their own cajoling and yelling don't. For the child who refuses to bathe, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle recommends letting her be. Wait until the dirt on her body has accumulated to half an inch, then scatter radish seeds on her arms and head. When the plants start sprouting, the nonbather is guaranteed to change her mind about that bath.
Hilary Knight's (Eloise, Sunday Morning) delightful pictures provide lively, droll accompaniment to Betty MacDonald's refreshing stories. Whether Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is curing Answer-Backers or Slow-Eater-Tiny-Bite-Takers, her remedies always work like a charm. More than one parent over the years has surreptitiously turned to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle when Dr. Spock failed to come through. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

by Betty MacDonald
from J.B. Lippincott
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is the widow of a pirate, which at once sets her apart from ordinary people. Besides that, her house is always crawling with children. She likes little boys to dig for buried treasure in the garden. She likes little girls to wear her high heels for dress-up. She's always ready to stop and give a tea party, and she also has an attic truck full of valuable rocks with gold in them.
