The Mercy Watson books are absolutely fantastic. Loved by all my family from the 15mth old baby to my six year old daughter. Each page has bold, beautiful illustrations which are great fun for the younger children to be adsorbed in while the older children are literally laughing out loud at the adventures of mercy. The author has used some very clever, punchy lines which IÂ often hear repeated in our home, making for some very funny situations. IÂ love these books and they are cleverly, but simply written which makes them great reading practice for my older daughter also. This the first in the series is the unmissable introduction to how this pig thinks!
