mrs. piggle-wiggle's farm

My daughter loved the strategies Mrs. Piggle Wiggle uses to help children learn their lessons.

We love Mrs. PiggleWiggle

I grew up reading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, and she was my favorite. Now I am so excited to read these stories to my children. My oldest son is 4, and we just started reading them this week. He loves the characters and the cures. I love to listen to him talk about the various bad behaviors and then watch him as his brain ticks through the times he is whiny, bossy, etc.. I also love that these stories use big words-great for building vocabulary in a very natural way. At 4, he is only just old enough to be read these, so I anticipate many more happy years of enjoying Mrs. Piggle Wiggle together!

Wonderful wordplay!

I checked this book out of the public library as an elementary school kid nearly 30 years ago. I came searching for it because I recently used the word "glopslopcious" (which I may be spelling wrong) with my children, and so got to telling them about this wonderful book. Any book a person can remember specifically and fondly 3 decades after reading it has got to be a great book.

Hilarious

I had checked out this book in the library and I saw the cover. It looked like a very little Santa Cluas in a tree on the telephone. It was a book that would probably intrest me because it was pure nonsense. The book was the best book I have ever read. It makes you laugh on almost every page. The tricks and the poems are great. This book is definetly a book for all ages.

Excellent book. I'm ordering them for my daughter!

I remember sitting in the library when I was little reading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books over and over again. I loved everyone one of her "cures" and now that I have a daughter of my own I want her to have her own copies of these classics from my childhood.
