Overview
Meet Mercy Watson, the porcine wonder who loves nothing more than buttered toast, car rides, and a good adventure. This six-book paperback collection follows Mercy and her devoted owners, Mr. and Mrs. Watson, through a series of short, hilarious escapades perfect for newly independent readers. With warm humor, bold illustrations, and bite-sized chapters, these stories make a fantastic introduction to chapter books for kids ages 5-7, whether for story time, classroom reading, or a cozy bedtime pick.

About the Books
The Mercy Watson series follows a lovable, toast-obsessed pig who lives with Mr. and Mrs. Watson and treats every day like an opportunity for a new caper. 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.
