Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Won't-Take-a-Bath Cure (1999)

      Allowing children to learn life lessons by experience can be difficult for parents. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle supports young Patsy's mother in this process. In Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's-Won't-Take-a-Bath-Cure, Betty MacDonald  portrays parents who follow Mrs Piggle-Wiggle's advice to patiently apply the Radish Cure. They stop demanding their little girl take a bath. "At the end of the third week Patsy skipped out to get the mail, and the postman . . .gave a terrified yell and fell off the porch." Patsy had gotten very dirty!
