I would title this book: 100 ways to teach your child to be naughty and annoying. That said, Rebecca, of course, found it very good and would at least give it 3 stars, thus the rating. I would probably give it 2. It's made a more sarcastic parent out of me, and I found myself saying, during a child's emotional outburst, "Your going to fill the room up with water with that kind of crying." This of course angered the child more. I'm not sure what the author is saying about children i...more

this is one of my childhood dream...a person who has a bag full of medicines that can cure all of children's disease...from cry baby disease, bully disease etc..
I love this book, and I often read it when I feel annoyed by my kids' behavior..
(maybe I'm dreaming that Mrs. piggle wiggle would come and save tha day!)

We listened to this as a book on tape in the car. My kids loved it & I enjoyed it. I will say I was worried my kids would start doing some of the awful things the kids did in this book....but so far I haven't seen it thank goodness. I will have to check out some more of these books for my kids :)

I wanted to read the first Mrs. Piggle Wiggle book but unfortunately there is a whole chapter dedicated to "DON'T TOUCH DICK" That was probably okay in 1954 but I don't think it works as well in 2008. I enjoyed all these books as a child and can't wait to finish reading this to my students.

Cute, but not nearly as good as the first Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle book. Instead of common sense (taken to a funny extreme), Mrs. Piggle Wiggle mostly relies on magic in the second volume of this series.
Still better than most children's books, in my opinion.

Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is a sweet old eccentric woman with funny cures for all kinds of bad habits that kids have. These stories are so quaint. My kids really enjoyed them, and read some of the other Mrs Piggle Wiggle books in the series.

Just read this one again today. Fun! I think I liked the crybaby cure best of all. Wish Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lived in my neighborhood! I have a few little things she could help me out with.

Not as good as the first. There was more magic than common sense in some of these cures and the stories were a little too long, but the kids thought they were still funny.

Not my favorite of the Mrs.Piggle Wiggle stories but still a fun book for kids who are asking for more of her adventures.
