General fiction

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm

by Betty MacDonald

Book 3 of the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle series

128 pages · First published 1954

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle moves her unusual approach to children’s problems into a farm setting where animals, outdoor work, and magical remedies create new possibilities. Parents continue bringing her cases involving habits that ordinary discipline has failed to change. The farm gives each cure room to become an elaborate comic lesson rather than a simple lecture. Betty MacDonald’s later Piggle-Wiggle book preserves the episodic structure and playful exaggeration of the series while adding rural adventure to its humorous wish fulfillment for frustrated families.
