Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic

"Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic" (1949) is the second book in Betty MacDonald's series about the expert child-curative Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. The series begins with "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle" and continues with "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm" and "Hello, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle". None of the books can be considered novels, but episodic problems with children and their exasperated parents in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's neighbourhood, and the always winning solution provided by Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle.

"Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic" (illustrated by Hilary Knight) supplants the reverse psychology, aversion therapy, and other behaviour modification tricks of the first book with magic potions and powders. The list of problems here:
*"The Thought-You-Saiders Cure"
*"The Tattletale Cure"
*"The Bad-Table-Manners Cure"
*"The Interrupters"
*"The Heedless Breaker"
*"The Never-Want-to-Go-to-Schooler"
*"The Whaddle-I-Doers"
