Missy Piggle-Wiggle and the Whatever Cure

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Ben Hatke. Beloved character Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle deputizes her great-niece, Missy Piggle-Wiggle, to look after her pets and upside-down house in her absence. In a fresh set of vignettes, Missy, like her great-aunt, helps cure faults of the townspeople's children using kindness, firmness, and magic. Martin and Parnell channel original author Betty MacDonald in humor, genial tone, and accessibility, complemented nicely by Hatke's occasional, playful full-page sketches.
