The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle Treasury by Betty MacDonald (126 pages)

 Summary 

Is your child bad or acting weird? If so, call Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. She may be a widow and a witch, but she's amazing at having cures for children with weird or bad behavior. She is good with children, but not so much with adults.  Each chapter centers around a different child with different behavior problems and their family. Mr. Piggle-Wiggle hid a chest full of cures in the backyard. When the children find the chest, then it becomes Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's main source of magic. 

Opinion 

One of the primary reasons I read this book is that it was one of my mom's childhood favorites, even though she didn't read a lot. In every chapter there is a good, hidden message in how Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle handles each child and their problem. For example, one good message found in the book is if you don't pick up your toys, you won't be able to get around your bedroom. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is my favorite character because she turns boring chores into fun tasks. She really has a unique perspective on kids and how to get them to learn the better way to be or to do things. If you like witches and cures, then try this one.
