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 character for early chapter-book readers in a series that's destined to be a classic.\u003cbr\u003e The New York Times best-selling porcine wonder finds herself behind the wheel in this hilarious adventure available in paperback.\u003cbr\u003e Mr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a \"You are such a good sport, darling\" to get the portly pig out of the driver's seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout. One day the Watsons' motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some \"folly and adventure\" -- and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! Soon there's a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy. Of course, it's nothing that an extra helping of buttered toast can't fix!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBiographical Note:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 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. She says, \"Mercy Watson had been in my head for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to tell her story. One day, my friend Alison was going on and on and on about the many virtues of toast. As I listened to her, I could see Mercy nodding in emphatic agreement. Sometimes you don't truly understand a character until you know what she loves above all else.\"\u003cbr\u003e Chris Van Dusen is the author-illustrator of DOWN TO THE SEA WITH MR. MAGEE, A CAMPING SPREE WITH MR. MAGEE, and IF I BUILT A CAR. He says, \"When I first read Mercy Watson to the Rescue, the characters were very vivid in my mind, and they just came to life when I started painting. This is exactly the type of story I love to illustrate -- a wonderfully silly adventure with lots of action.\" This is his first book with Candlewick Press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48077052838114,"sku":"Mercy Watson Series","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/810GW5tV0FL.jpg?v=1784649808","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/the-mercy-watson-series-8-books-collection-set-mercy-watson-to-the-rescue-mercy-watson-goes-for-a-ride-mercy-watson-fights-crime-mercy-princess-in-a-very-mercy-christmas-by-kate-dicamillo","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
