The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle Treasury written by Betty Macdonald

      For those of you who do not know Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, she is a short and stout woman who lives in a strange house by herself in a neighborhood that is full of children. Now, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle loves these neighborhood children dearly, even though she doesn’t have any children of her own she seems to always have a solution to help parents cure their children from their bad habits.

       The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle Treasury written by Betty MacDonald contains the three Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books into one giant book.  Betty MacDonald created Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle as a woman who knows how to solve all of the parent’s problems with their misbehaved children.  For example, Hubert Prentiss, a character in one of the stories, had a hard time picking up his room. His parents would always nag at him to pickup his toys. Thankfully, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle had a solution for the Won’t-Pickup-Toys habit, have Hubert play with his toys in his room and have his parents to not ask him to pickup his toys unless he eventually does clean his room himself. Eventually, Hubert did pickup his toys and his family was happy that Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle cured their son.

            In my opinion, the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories are classic stories that I grew up with.  Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is a woman with a good sense of humor who knows how to turn a misbehaving child into a perfect one.  She is the woman who all the doctors and parents turn to for help solving their children’s horrible habit.

            In concluding, if you are the sort of person who wants to read a book that is full of hilarious stories of parents with misbehaving children and a funny woman who comes up with funny ways to cure the misbehaved.  I would highly recommend Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle written by Betty MacDonald.
