I chose this book off the shelf because my sister Cate told me it was a good book and I liked the first story I read in it. This book has a series of stories about children's bad habits and how Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle cures them. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle got the cures from her husband Mr. Piggle-Wiggle when he went away. When the parents seem lost, they call Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle to help them. Her cures are harmless and they taste like different types of candy so that the parents don't have trouble getting the children to take the medicine. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle cures bullying, whispering, cry babies, showing off and slow pokes by making the most interesting things happen. For example, she gives the children whispering sticks and when they try to talk normally, it sounds like a whisper. Even when they shout, they still can't be heard.

This book teaches about what people can do when they work together to stop their bad habits. I wish Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lived around my house so that she could cure my knuckle cracking, don't you?
