Description
The first adventure of this NEW YORK TIMES best-selling porcine wonder is now to be had in paperback. (Ages 6 – 8)
To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy isn’t just a pig – she’s a porcine wonder. And to the portly and good-natured Mercy, the Watsons are a very good source of buttered toast, to not mention that buttery-toasty feeling she gets when she snuggles into bed with them. This isn’t, then again, so good for the Watsons’ bed. BOOM! CRACK! As the bed and its occupants slowly sink during the floor, Mercy escapes in a flash – “to alert the fire department,” her owners assure themselves. But could Mercy in all probability have some other emergency in mind – like a sudden craving for their neighbors’ sugar cookies? Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson – an ebullient new character for early chapter-book readers in a series that is destined to be a classic.
