Across these six stories, Mercy rescues her family from a collapsing floor, takes a joyride in the family car, foils a kitchen burglar, gets zipped into a princess costume for Halloween, outsmarts an animal control officer, and heads to the drive-in movies. Each book is told in short, easy-to-follow chapters with large text and plenty of humor, bridging picture books and longer chapter books. The supporting cast of quirky neighbors, including Eugenia Lincoln and her sister Baby Lincoln, adds extra charm to every story. Bright, expressive illustrations bring Mercy's larger-than-life personality to life on nearly every page. Because the stories are self-contained, kids can start with any title, and teachers and librarians often recommend the series for read-alouds and guided reading groups thanks to its confidence-building format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete six-book paperback set featuring every original Mercy Watson adventure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort chapters and large text make it ideal for newly independent readers ages 5-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaugh-out-loud humor keeps reluctant readers engaged from the first page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibrant illustrations support comprehension and bring Mercy's personality to life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for classroom libraries, guided reading groups, and read-aloud time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a thoughtful birthday, holiday, or back-to-school gift for young readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMercy Watson to the Rescue — Mercy's love of buttered toast helps save the Watsons when their floor gives way.\u003cbr\u003eMercy Watson Goes for a Ride — Mercy takes the wheel for an unforgettable joyride through town.\u003cbr\u003eMercy Watson Fights Crime — Mercy inadvertently foils a late-night burglar in the Watsons' kitchen.\u003cbr\u003eMercy Watson: Princess in Disguise — Dressed as a princess for Halloween, Mercy sets off on a candy-fueled adventure.\u003cbr\u003eMercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig — When Eugenia Lincoln's pansies go missing, an officer learns to think like Mercy to solve it.\u003cbr\u003eMercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes — A trip to the drive-in turns into a wonky night out for Mercy and the Watsons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKate DiCamillo is an award-winning American author celebrated for her warm, funny, and emotionally honest books for young readers, including The Tale of Despereaux and Because of Winn-Dixie.
