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 new character for early chapter-book readers in a series that's destined to be a classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e80 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCandlewick (December 22, 2009)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e978-0763645045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DiCamillo, Kate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18532219191363,"sku":"","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0078\/1906\/7459\/products\/A1X0TcFkYzL.jpg?v=1547662917"},{"product_id":"mercy-watson-goes-for-a-ride-book-2","title":"Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride (Book 2)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car.

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!
