Publisher's Summary

An exciting new series from Newbery Award-winning author Kate DiCamillo!

Mercy Watson to the Rescue
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! Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson.

Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride
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 sun on her snout.

Silly

A weak book. So not engaging. Main character has no real personality, poor plots, couldn’t finish it even with the granddaughter.

A Porcine Wonder

Very funny. Very sly. My five-year-old son loves them. And so do I.

Good stories and good reader

We first took this out from the local library. The stories are good and the reader is both interesting to listen to and calming (think - bedtime).

What a joy to listen to!

Ron McLarty is a treasure. He sounds genuinely interested and 100% into the reading of this story and uses different voices for each character in utterly charming ways. Just a joy. I get sucked into listening to it with my 7-year-old.

Fantastic Story for young listeners

The Mercy Watson books are some of my children’s(3-5)all time favorites. They were thrilled that they can now listen to them when we were on the go. The reading and voices are fantastic and add new depth to the stories.
