A Piglet Named Mercy

It's hard to say what I love more: little pig Mercy Watson, author Kate DiCamillo, or illustrator Chris Van Dusen. DiCamillo and Van Dusen have joined forces to bring early chapter book character Mercy Watson to the picture book crowd in a delightful prequel to the series. How did Mercy come to join Mr. and Mrs. Watson as a part of their family? This little book tells the backstory. If you are already a fan of the Mercy Watson books, you won't want to miss this picture book, and if you aren't, you will seek them out after you read it.
