Synopses & Reviews
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is back with a brand-new bundle of wonderfully magical cures for any bad habit—from watching too much TV to picky eating to fear of trying new things. With a little help from her pets, Wag the dog, Lightfoot the cat, and Lester the pig—and a trunk full of magnificent powders and potions—she can solve any problem, big or small. And while Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is working
her magic, the children are working some of their own, planning a boisterous birthday bash for everyone's favorite problem solver!
Just in time for the sixtieth anniversary of the original Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle comes a healthy dose of comedy and adventure to delight a whole new generation of readers.

About the Author
Betty MacDonald (1908–1958) was the author of the beloved children's books about Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle:
- Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
- Hello, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
- Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Magic
- Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm
The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories were first told to her two daughters.
After Betty MacDonald's death, her daughter Anne MacDonald Canham found a never-before-published Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle story along with notes for other stories among her mother's possessions. This was the beginning of Happy Birthday, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, the first new Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle book in fifty years.
