Betty Bard MacDonald

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle knows what to do about things that drive most grown-ups crazy. When Mrs. Burbank is in despair because her children have become thought-you-saiders, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's helpful, hilarious magic is irresistible and as funny as it is effective.

Two orphaned sisters are sent to live at a boarding home run by the cruel and greedy Mrs. Monday, where they dream about someday having enough to eat and being able to experience a real Christmas.
