This is a wonderful fairy-story about a princess who has no gravity. (In both senses of the word, one of the best things about this book is the language and puns, not to mention the illustrations by Sendak.)
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle is one of the first books I remember my Mom reading to me, and she's been one of my favorites ever since.
I've seen the Disney movie, but this is the first time I've ever read the book. It's very different from the movie, for the record.
I really didn't enjoy this book. In fact, I stopped reading it, which is something I don't do very often. It seemed like a poor imitation of 20th century British children's lit.
