Last year, one of the first books our homeschool curriculum called for, was Mrs. Piggle Wiggle. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle – who used to be married to a pirate, you know – lives in an upside down house and always has cookies AND the perfect cure for whatever ails the neighborhood children. Oh, I don’t mean colds and tummy aches… not those kinds of ailments. But the all to common childhood ailments like Won’t-Pick-Up-Toys, Answer-Backer and Slow-Eater-Tiny-Bite-Taker. Mrs. Piggle Wiggle can cure them all!
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, first written by Betty MacDonald in 1947, has been delighting children and grown-ups alike for over 50 years. Now, it’s her great niece’s turn to cure and delight. Welcome to the world, Missy Piggle Wiggle!
Famed children’s author & mother Annie Parnell, the great-granddaughter of Betty MacDonald who is the creator of the original and iconic Mrs. Piggle–Wiggle book series, has joined forces with legendary NY Times Best-Selling children’s author Ann M. Martin (The Baby-Sitter’s Club series) to create a modern-day take on the original series that has young Missy Piggle–Wiggle stepping into her great-aunt Mrs. Piggle–Wiggle‘s enchanted shoes. The second book of the series, Missy Piggle–Wiggle and the Won’t Walk the Dog Cure, features Missy curing whiney-whiners and smarty-pantsiness, as well as other habits, while continuing to make a life for herself in Little Spring Valley living in the same upside down house her great aunt used to live in.
Missy Piggle–Wiggle and the Won’t Walk the Dog Cure will be published on September 5, 2017, by Feiwel & Friends, an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group.
