Mercy Watson to the Rescue
By Kate DiCamillo
Illustrated by Chris Van Dusen
The first "Pig Tale" in an exciting new series from Newbery Award-winning author Kate DiCamillo!
Mr and Mrs Watson have a pig named Mercy. Mercy is a porcine wonder. One night, Mercy decides she does not want to sleep in her own bed. She would much rather snuggle up with Mr and Mrs Watson. This is not good news for the Watsons' bed. Or for the Watsons.
