Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle loves children, healthy children. She has a big cupboard overflowing with magic pills and potions and appliances for curing them of bad habits. Like the powder that makes Phillip Carmody completely invisible when he shows off. Or the anti-slowpoke spray she uses to treat Harbin’s extra-acute daydreaming disease. However unusual the problem, you can count on Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle for the answer!
“Each of these stories has obviously been told over and over to delighted children, who must throng around their author as the youngsters in the book do around Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle herself.” —The Chicago Tribune
Betty MacDonald was born in Boulder, Colorado, and grew up in various places in the West. The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories were first told to her daughters, Anne and Joan. MacDonald is also the author of The Egg and I, Anybody Can Do Anything, Nancy and Plum, and Onions in the Stew. Mrs. MacDonald died in 1958.
