Mercy Watson to the Rescue

Mercy is a delightful pig and her family loves Mercy like a child. The story is very cute and Kate Dicamillo does an excellent job of keeping the reader involved. My 4th grade students enjoyed it as a read aloud and then some students read it on their own.

Fun book to read!

This book is enjoyable for any young child. The story has humor and conflict that makes it a quick and interesting read. The pictures make it appealing and help tell the humorous story. Mercy Watson is a bit of a spoiled pig. He gets tucked into bed with a bedtime song and an abundance of hot buttered bread which happens to be his favorite snack. A catastrophe happens one night when he sneaks in bed with Mr. and Mrs. Watson. Will Mercy get help before it too late? Read the adventure that Mercy goes on to find out if he becomes a hero.

Funny!

My six year old reads this book many times to herself! She loves Mercy and Baby the next door neighbor and of course my Daughter now eats her toast with butter like Mercy!

Great beginning chapter book

My niece was not inspired by any chapter books. The clerk at a local bookstore recommended this series and BAM!--the niece was hooked. My only question is: can Kate DiCamillo write these fast enough to satisfy a book-hungry seven-year-old?

This is also a great book to read out loud. The characters and humor jump off the page, even when a non-actor such as myself attempts to "do voices."

My kids LOVE all of Kate Dicamillo's books. My youngest children really love Mercy Watson so when I saw this book was available I had to buy it. Easy to follow, fun story, nice illustrations, another hit by Kate Dicamillo.

Thanks for putting out such wonderful work Kate!

From the one and only Kate DiCamillo comes an irresistible new hero for early chapter book readers, brightly captured with comic nostalgic flair by Chris Van Dusen.

To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig ? she's 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 new character for early chapter-book readers in a series that's destined to be a classic.
