Book Reviews of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
Book Review: Family Favorite
Summary: 4 Stars
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle was 'The Nanny'/'Dr.Phil' of her time. These stories offer parents and children interesting ways to deal with daily chores and struggles that can sometimes seem overwhelming. I enjoyed reading this book as a child and couldn't resist purchasing it for my girls 4 and 2 to enjoy. We have been working our way through various childrens' novels as part of our bedtime ritual. Books like this are good for holding the attention of children at various levels of reading and reading comprehension. These stories have also served as a springboard for discussion in our family about finding creative new ways to accomplish the many tasks that need to be done to keep the household running. Some of the material may seem dated, but it's definetely a classic.Book Review: *~What I Think of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle~*
Summary: 4 Stars
I think Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is a wonderful book! It is mostly about a lady name Mrs. Pigglle- Wiggle, who loves kids and likes to help them out with their problems. My favorite character was Cindy becausse she would talk back to everyone else, but then her mom called Mrs. Piggle- Wiggle and she gave her something that would change her whole attitude problem! My favorite part of the book was when a boy named Hubert got stuck in his room because he kept thinking that his mom would clean up his room every time he messed it up. Although Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle might seem like a boring book to some people, it was very interesting to me. I would recommend this book to all parents that like to read to their children at night!Book Review: Not for my family..
Summary: 1 Stars
While I'm sure I'll get rude comments for not liking the book, it wasn't for my family.
I purchased the audio off of ****** and sat down with my 2 girls, 4 and 6 to listen to a new book. Within 5 minutes, I turned it off and dumped it.
I didn't like that Mr. Piggle Wiggle died after he buried his treasure. I didn't like the little girl that visits Mrs. Piggle Wiggle doesn't think her mother is her real mother. She wants to know why a real mother would want her to do the dishes. She also wants to run away, because she hates doing the dishes.
Didn't make it past anything else. I'd heard enough after my 4 year old sat on the floor and told me she was running away...
Book Review: DID THIS BRING BACK MEMORIES!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 32 years old and I also read this book when I was about 7 or 8 years of age; my mother got it for me at the library. My mother recently passed away; and memories of my childhood resurfaced. I was discussing this book to a girlfriend of mine, telling her how my mother used to read it to me and how we would laugh at the stories. I found and purchased on Amazon.com (Thank god for this site)! Get this book for your children! It has great stories, for parent and child. (My personal favorite is about the 3 kids who never want to go to bed)! Although I do not have any children, I have a niece and nephew who I will read this to. I think I'll get Ramona the Pest and Curious George next! :)Book Review: Not For Me
Summary: 1 Stars
I never liked the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle series and found the stories weird and the characters far from appealing. To this day I can't stand "The Radish Cure." That had to be the most asinine story in creation. I found it repulsive. Who on earth would plant seeds in the dirt on their child's body? While most kids liked these stories, they didn't appeal to me at all. "The Selfishness Cure" was also ridiculous. I didn't like it when Dick was told he had to give half of his dessert to the dog before his possessions were no longer labeled. No, I was never an avid Mrs. Piggle Wiggle fan. The supposed "cures" sounded like anything but to me.
