Book Reviews of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm
Book Review: I liked this less than the others.
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle series growing up. Very funny, and various interesting cures to children's faulty habits. Throughout it all Mrs. Piggle Wiggle showed her immense love for children and never broke a frown in their direction.
That is the problem I have with this book. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle acting uncharacteristically Mrs. Piggle-wiggleish. She gets impatient with the children or downright rude. Nothing in the other books ever broke her placid composure and her real love for the kids. In this book she commits that sin several times, and the results always dimmed my enjoyment of the stories. (Such as the can't find it cure boy where she gets upset and sends him to his room.)
I realize that even Mrs. Piggle Wiggle can be pushed to certain limits, but considering how well those children tested or ran over those limits in earlier novels without her so much as frowning....she was created for a good reason and it just doesn't do for her to break that pattern.
As an aside, this book was written by a shadow writer, I believe.
Summary of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm
Ms. Piggle-Wiggle's left her upside-down town house and has moved to a farm in the country. With the help of her cows and pigs and horses, she's still curing girls and boys of their bad habits. So whatever the problem-from pet forgetter-itis to fraidycat-ness-the parents all exclaim, "Better call Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle!"
