Publisher's summary

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside-down house and smells like cookies. She was even married to a pirate once. Most of all, she knows everything about children. She can cure them of any ailment. Patsy hates baths. Hubert never puts anything away. Allen eats v-e-r-y slowly. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle has a treatment for all of them.

Critic reviews

"A charming reading of a timeless classic." (AudioFile)
"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 )

Perfect for long commutes

My 6 year old daughter just LOVED listening to 'Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle' on our drive too and from school this last week. My only regret is that I spent our credits on other books instead of just getting the entire series. This audio book has "created pictures in my mind", as my daughter would say. She loves talking about 'Polly Parrot' and the other life lessons that are presented in the books. I'm hoping listening to books will foster a life long love of reading. ... Now on to the Ramona series!

Perfect for the Car

The chapters stand alone as individual stories, so this is the perfect audio book for the car. The morals are not subtle, but neither are they off-putting. The narrator is quite easy to understand, which is particularly important for kids. My children immediately requested the other books as well.

wonderful children's books

This book was very enjoyable. My daughter and I listened to it on a road trip. Each chapter tells a story about a different child learning to overcome normally children's problems such as talking back or not wanting to clean their room or take a bath. The stories were sweet and engaging and emphasize good values without being preachy or old fashion. The reader was also very good. I would say good for ages 4 through second grade. But older children with younger siblings would probably be fine with listening as well.

A homerun

This is fantastic. The reader is great and the stories are timeless. Stories about kids misbehaving and adults at their wits end (all with happy endings) keep everyone listening after we've arrived at our destination.
