Chapter 1
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle lives in an upside house in town and
lives alone aside from her dog, Wag and her cat, Lightfoot. She is sad and
lonely and wishes for friends. On a rainy stormy day while Mrs. Piggle Wiggle
was washing dishes she saw girl running through the rain with a suitcase. The
girl was crying so Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle invited her inside for tea and cookies.
The girl, Mary Lou ran away from home to avoid washing dishes. Mrs.
Piggle-Wiggle taught her a fun and unique way to wash the dishes at home. Mary
Lou came back the next day after school with her friend Kitty. More and more
children would come each day until pretty much almost every child in the
neighborhood would go to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggles house. Most of them had issues
with chores so Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle would teach them fun ways to accomplish
chores. Even parents were calling her seeking advice.
Chapter 2: Hubert Prentiss is a sweet boy whom his
grandfather sends him magnificent toys to every Christmas. His toys take up a
majority of his room and his mother is always cleaning his room. She sought
help through other mothers to find a way to get Hubert to pick up his toys
himself. The other mothers were no help so she called Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Mrs.
Piggle-Wiggle suggested to Mrs. Prentiss to completely stop cleaning Hubert’s
room. This would literally trap him in his room. Hubert’s room got so cluttered
that Mrs. Prentiss had to feed him meals through his window attached to a rake.
After about a week of completely staying out of Hubert’s room, he was literally
trapped. Out in the neighborhood Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and the children were
having a parade and were about to go to the circus. Hubert became very
frustrated. He received a note from Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle saying that they will
wait for him if he puts his everything where it belongs. Hubert cleaned his
room and joined everyone in the parade.
Chapter 3
Mary O’Toole came home from school one day and informed her
mother that she made a very rude remark to her teacher thinking it was clever.
Mary started to be impudent at home with her mother and would squint and blink
her eyes and wear a frown on her face. A worried Mrs. O’Toole called a few
mothers in the neighborhood with no luck in seeking advice. Someone recommended
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. She called Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle who suggested that Mrs.
O’Toole take home her parrot Penelope. Penelope only talks to children and is not
polite at all. When Mary came home from school one afternoon she was thrilled
to see the parrot. Penelope was extremely rude to Mary. She talked backed
constantly and would shout out rude remarks. After only a day of being around
Penelope she realized how she looked and sounded when she has never been more
sweeter and even apologized to her teacher.
Chapter 4
Dick Thompson is a selfish boy. He is polite and has matters
and is obedient but he is extremely selfish. After his mother witnesses Dick
not share the big box of peppermint candy she asked him to divide among the
other children, and hit Mary’s hand with his baseball bat, she calls his father
at the office. He recommends calling Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
instructs Mrs. Thompson to come to her house and pick up her selfishness kit.
Inside a huge green box contained padlocks of numerous sizes, keys, paint,
labels, and a pastry bag for frosting. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle instructed Mrs.
Thompson to follow the rules strictly and precisely in order for this to work.
She told Mrs. Thompson to label every single one of Dick’s clothes and put a
padlock on every one of his items (toothbrush, his room, his closet, his toy
chest). Dick saw her sewing labels onto his clothes and he was thrilled. He
helped label his bike, bat, baseball, and mitt. When Dick went to school the
next day the children laughed and made fun of him because even his entire lunch
was labeled. “Dick’s sandwich”, “Dick’s apple”. After only two days of this,
and losing a majority of his keys to the padlocks, Dick realized his actions
and became selfless.
Chapter 5
Patsy refused to take a bath one morning. She would kick and
scream and act like an animal. Her mother called a few mothers in the
neighborhood seeking advice. She then called Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Mrs.
Piggle-Wiggle suggested the radish cure. She instructed Patsy’s mother to
ignore Patsy’s hygiene and let her become filthy, and when she becomes so
encrusted with mud and dirt to put little radish seeds on her body when she is
sleeping. Weeks went by and Patsy became filthy. Finally when the time was
right Patsy’s mother and father snuck into her bedroom at night and put the
little radish seeds on her arms, hands, and forehead. A few days later the
seeds grew a little and Patsy tried to wipe them off. Her mother had plucked
most of them out when Patsy announced she wanted to take a bath. She showered
all day long to become clean again.
Chapter 6
Bobby, Larry, and Susan Gray gave their mother a hard time
each night around 8 o’clock pm when it was bed time. With all of the whining
and arguing the children wouldn’t normally get into bed until 9:30pm. Mrs. Gray
called a few mothers in the neighborhood but none had advice. Mrs. Gray called
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle who suggested to her to let the children stay up as late as
they wanted and just to carry on with her normal sleeping schedule. The
children were thrilled at first but soon became incredibly sleepy during the
day which made them miss out on a trip to the beach, sleep through a movie, and
not enjoy Patsy’s wonderful birthday party. When they soon became unbearably
exhausted they begged their mother to let them go to bed at 8pm.
Chapter 7
Allen began taking an abnormally long time to finish his
meals and he would cut everything into the tiniest of pieces. This started to
worry his mother so she called a few fellow mothers in the neighborhood. She
then called Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle sent Allen home with her
slow eater tiny bit taker cure kit. Inside the basket contained four sets of
dishes, cups, and silverware-- large, medium, small, and tiny. Mrs.
Piggle-Wiggle instructed Allen’s mother to start with the large plates and cups
and continually down size to the smaller ones and make Allen’s meals to the
size of the plates. Allen lost weight and became incredibly tired and weak. He
even had trouble walking. It was Allen’s turn to walk Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s pony
Spotty, but Allen was so weak his mother had to wagon him to her house and he
could barely sit up on the horse. He walked Spotty to his house where he
collapsed on the grass. His mother brought him inside and began to feed him
food. He regained energy and was back to normal.
Chapter 8
Anne and Joan Russell are twin sisters. They have a fighting
and quarreling problem. It drives their mother crazy. She calls a fellow mother
in the neighborhood then thinks of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
suggests the fighter-quarrelers cure. She instructs Mrs. Russell to take note
of whatever the girls are fighting and quarreling about and write down what
they say to each other. She then tells her that she and Mr. Russell should
fight and quarrel over the same things the twins fight over and repeat exactly
what they say. After Mr. and Mrs. Russell do this for a day and the pumpkin pie
is dropped on the floor the children become very upset and confess that
fighting and quarreling make them extremely miserable. So the family makes a
truce and vows that there will be no more fighting. They all proceed to get ice
cream.
