"The most hilariously well-written capers of a pig named Mercy."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

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 I often hear repeated in our home, making for some very funny situations. I 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!

Description

Mercy! Mercy! Get ready for an exciting new series for younger readers from award-winner Kate DiCamillo. To her owners, Mercy is not just a pig, but a porcine wonder! And to Mercy, the Watsons are an excellent source of hot-buttered toast...and of that feeling she gets when she snuggles up in bed with them. This is not so good for the Watsons' bed, however, which falls through the floor. Mercy escapes - to alert the fire brigade, so the Watsons think. But the pig has another emergency in mind...a sudden craving for the neighbour's cookies! Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson - an ebullient new character, brightly captured with comic, nostalgic flair. Divided into short chapters, this light-hearted new series is ideal for young readers branching out from picture books to fiction.
