My thoughts for the series as a whole are on the review for Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Really, if I’d only read that book and this one, I don’t know if I would have continued the series.

In the first, we have fairly mundane and reasonable solutions to realistic childhood issues. In this one–straight out magic. I’m not a huge fan, especially with the tonal shift. But I do really like Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm and (perhaps surprisingly) Happy Birthday, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, so I’m glad I continued.

That being said, this one does have some fun moments (the Tattletales, Lester the pig with his table manners), so it’s not all bad!

• The Thought-You-Saiders Cure - I think my kids got the wrong idea out of this one… also, as someone with their own audio/sensory issues to start with, that cure sounds terrible.
• The Tattletale Cure - Super magical. But the Tattletales sound cute, so we’ll give it a pass
• The Bad-Table-Manners Cure - The idea of a pig teaching table manners? Magical. Ridiculous. I like it.
• The Interrupters - This one’s funny, since I’ve seen tech that does this. Take a directional microphone and speaker and play back someone’s words a second after they speak. They’ll stop talking super quick.
• The Heedless Breaker - Sometimes children are careless. This one seems entirely too magical a fix for what might be an otherwise underlying problem.
• The Never-Want-To-Go-To-Shooler - I… don’t think it works like that. At all.
• The Waddle-I-Dooers - At least it’s somewhat less magical. A decent conclusion.
