KATE DI CAMILLO / IL. CHRIS VAN DUSEN
The first adventure of this New York Times best-selling porcine wonder is available in paperback.
To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig shes a porcine wonder. And to the portly and good-natured Mercy, the Watsons are an excellent source of buttered toast, not to mention that buttery-toasty feeling she gets when she snuggles into bed with them. This is not, however, so good for the Watsons bed. BOOM! CRACK! As the bed and its occupants slowly sink through the floor, Mercy escapes in a flash «to alert the fire department,» her owners assure themselves. But could Mercy possibly have another emergency in mind like a sudden craving for their neighbors sugar cookies? Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson an ebullient character for early chapter-book readers in a series thats destined to be a classic.
