I discovered Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle on the library shelf when I was nine years old (I'll be 73 in December,2009). When my daughter was born, I knew that I would introduce her to the lady as soon as she could understand, and I did so. We have had such great fun sharing excerpts from the books over the years. She turns 50 this December.
With great delight, I have just given the boxed set to a little neighbor, for her birthday. I hope they bring her the joy they have brought to so many.

I remember reading all of the "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle" books when I was a little girl, along with all the other little girls in my class. We took turns borrowing the books from the school library and absolutely LOVED the stories of how Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle helped frazzled parents by finding creative ways to get their kids to wash their ears, make their beds, and do a host of other chores that the kids normally just couldn't stand doing. The only other fictional character that even approached Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's popularity among me and my female classmates was the famous Pippi Longstocking. I think I saw a few boys reading Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle once in a while too, whether they admitted it or not!
As an adult, I think this book contains some great lessons in persuasion as well! Simply ordering someone to do something rarely works - but if you can show them that it's fun or to their best advantage, that works much better.
I'm especially pleased that this box set includes the original dust-jacket designs by the illustrators Hilary Knight and Maurice Sendak. I'm not a big fan of using different illustrators for the cover of a new edition of a classic children's book. I'm giving this box set five stars, and the paperbacks having a different cover fewer stars.

I remember Mrs Piggle Wiggle books being my all time favorite books when I was a little girl. ( In fact I stll rembered most of the stories as a 40 year ol adult-they had such an impact on me. I have just recently purchased thekm for my 4 year old daughter and she is loving them! I agree with the previous reviewers comments except I give Mrs Piggle Wiggle a 5!! :} They are a bit dated but that just gives you more to talk about & links us with our more wholesome roots. Highly recommended!

I loved the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books as a child and I read them to my own children. My copies were so worn it was time to get a new set. My order was shipped quickly and the books are all in great condition. They look practically brand new. I couldn't be happier with this seller and my great new books!

These books were purchased for my granddaughter, a 3rd grader. I was thrilled that I could get the whole used set for the price of one book. A great deal for an avid reader.

My kids really enjoyed these books. We were first exposed to them in Writing With Ease. We all found the selections so funny that we ordered the books. My 9 year old read them all in a matter of two days this summer.

A bunch of rotten kids getting their comeuppances. But written with a light and humerous air.
I have read that these stories were originally bedtime stories that Betty MacDonald told to her own and her siblings' children and grandchildren.
