"Mrs Piggle Wiggle" by Betty MacDonald
http://www!.amazon!.com/Mrs-Piggle-Wiggle-!.!.!.
"Mrs!. Piggle-Wiggle is a woman of talent!. She knows how to make bad children good, and her amusing "cures" for common children's misdemeanors are very delightful sugar- coating to "how-to-be-good-little-girls-and-boys"!. Mrs!. Piggle-Wiggle likes to have children dig for treasure among her petunias, try on her high heeled shoes, eat her goodies, play pirate (her husband was a pirate, you see)!. She has so many delightful customs it really is no wonder the children adore her!. And it is a tribute to the author's skill that though these are undeniably tales with morals, the results are so hilarious and good-humored, the caricature so safe and unmalicious, that children and adults will laugh rather more than they learn, and learn more than they will admit!. I shouldn't be surprised if Mrs!. Piggle-Wiggle is here to stay!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
