Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm
- Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm
"Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm" (1954) is the third book in Betty MacDonald's comic series about the expert child-curative Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. The series begins with "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle" and continues with "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic" 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 Farm" (illustrated by Maurice Sendak) has Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle move from her "upside-down house" to a farm, bought with her husband's pirate treasure found at the end of the last book. Unlike that book, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle uses no magic for her cures; the farm itself does the most good: fresh air, animals, and responsibility are what children seem to really need. The list of problems here:
*"The Not Truthful Cure"
*"The Pet Forgetter Cure"
*"The Destructiveness Cure"
*"The Fraidy-cat Cure"
*"The Can't Find It Cure"
