![]() ![]() Kate DiCamillo is the author of THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, which received the Newbery Medal BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor and THE TIGER RISING, which was named a National Book Award Finalist. 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. But could Mercy possibly have another emergency in mind like a sudden craving for their neighbor's sugar cookies. 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. This is not, however, so good for the Watson's bed. 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. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig she's a porcine wonder. ![]()
