Silly and fun for the whole family. I think we missed a few things since we didn’t have the pictures in front of us, since it was an audiobook.

Hilarious series that my kids want to read over & over. Great for a starter for chapter books as there aren't too many sentences on a single page and plenty of bright illustrations. Fun/ adventurous story line. I wish there were more of these!

I love that hot buttered toast! I had to eat it for dinner after reading the first two Mercy Watson books.

A charmingly absurd tale but the illustrations are superlative and I will be seeking out more of vanDusen's work.

It was great timing that I could use this book as an example of why to not play with his car seat harness the next day. “Remember how mercy flew out of the car because she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt?”

The story is very simple, but the wonderful illustrations bumped it up to 4 stars for me.
