Hello, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle / Betty MacDonald ; pictures by Hilary Knight.
A woman with a magic way of curing children's bad habits tries her hand with a bully, a whisperer, and a slowpoke and formulates cures for a show-off and a crybaby. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle loves all children, but she is realistic enough to know that they must be cured of misbehavior and bad habits. Her cures are refreshingly old-fashioned-let the child who won't bathe not bathe until there is enough dirt on her skin in which to plant radish seeds. Sendak illustrated the first of these adventures-Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm-but Knight's comic drawings splendidly decorate three of the four available, including Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic.
