Mercy’s story and adventures appeal to both boys and girls, so there’ll be no trouble holding anyone’s attention. The large picture book-sized pages give the expressive, vintage-style illustrations a place to shine and are sure to engage your child in the story and garner plenty of laughs, all while helping to foster an early love of reading. In addition to established fans, A Piglet Named Mercy is a natural stepping stone for introducing younger readers to a soon-to-be beloved character. Or ask your older children who have already read through the original series to read A Piglet Named Mercy aloud to their younger siblings so they can share and enjoy the story together. Familiar readers are also sure to squeal with delight when they spot memorable secondary characters making much ado about Mercy’s arrival (the Lincoln sisters, anyone?).
Kids who grew up reading Mercy will eagerly want to revisit their favorite character, see her as an adorable baby piglet, and find out how she first discovered an insatiable love for hot buttered toast. Mercy Watson’s charming personality and hilarious hi-jinks have captivated early chapter-book readers and parents everywhere, and there’s still plenty to love about A Piglet Named Mercy for fans of the series. Watson (her owners – ahem – parents) can see her only as their darling “porcine wonder” (heaven forbid if they ever called her just a pig).
Sometimes she gets into mischief, but Mr. Mercy is also a pig with pretty much one thing on her mind: toast with a LOT of butter. If you haven’t met Mercy Watson, here’s the scoop: she’s a lovable pig who stirs up quite a bit of trouble and chaos in the Watsons’ rather humdrum neighborhood, Deckawoo Drive. If any kids ever wondered how this little piglet came to be living with the Watsons on Deckawoo Drive, this book has the answer! Pig protagonist Mercy Watson is back! Her newest story, A Piglet Named Mercy, is a picture book prequel to the bestselling eponymous chapter book series.
