Book Squirt

M is for MacDonald

I’ve podcasted about these books before – they’re some of my favorite children’s books. All of the Mrs. Pigglewiggle books (by Betty MacDonald) are awesome!

 

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s late husband was a pirate who buried treasure in the back yard, and she lets all the little boys dig holes in her yard to search for it. She has an upside down house, with upside down chandeliers on the floor that are  perfect for roasting s’mores or being an Indian campfire.

She herself is an evil witch or queen, a princess who wants to be set free, and the best friend the children of the town could have. She has a cure for everything: from Answerbackism to Quarrelitis, from Slow-Eater-Tiny-Bite-Tacker to Never-Want-To-Go-To-Bedders.

Sequels include: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s Magic, Hello, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s Farm, and Happy Birthday, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle.

I’ve gotta say, these are awesome. I still love reading them, even though they’re targeted towards younger kids. I read these to my younger siblings a year or two ago and they absolutely loved them. 🙂

Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?
