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 Watsons' 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. Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson - an ebullient character for early chapter-book readers in a series that's destined to be a classic. Foiling a robber, driving a car, squeezing into a tutu-is there anything the porcine wonder won’t do in her single-minded pursuit of treats, buttered toast, or just a rollicking fun time? And who knows what other adventures twinkle in her mischievous eyes?
