Publisher Description:
Mr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a "You are such a good sport, darling" to get the portly pig out of the driver's seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout. One day the Watsons' motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some "folly and adventure" — and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! Soon there's a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy. Of course, it's nothing that an extra helping of buttered toast can't fix!
This hilarious storybook series features a “Porcine Wonder” named Mercy Watson. Mercy is much more intelligent than the average pig. Mr. And Mrs. Watson treat her just about as well as a child of their own! She sleeps in a bed in her own bedroom, goes on Saturday drives with Mr. Watson, and even joins the family at the table for dinner! Mercy, though intelligent, always seems to find herself wrapped up in adventure and mischief. One thing’s for sure, she has a serious love for buttered toast! This series, by Kate DiCamillo (Author of Newberry Medal winners, The Tale of Despereaux and Flora & Ulysses) is perfect for bedtime stories or gathering around the fire for a read-aloud. Each book is filled with eye-catching, full-color illustrations by Chris Van Dusen. The print is large, which is great for young readers or group readings. Each book has approximately 70 pages, pb. ~ Brianna
