5 year old review: “It was SO good!”
Mom review: that was so silly! Beautiful color illustrations. Would be a good introduction to chapter books.

Quick read for Battle of the Books. It's a cute book for beginning chapter readers.
OK this was too cute with a sweet piggy that like hot buttered toast. I borrowed it via Hoopla and noticed a "read along" button. Wondering what that was, I clicked it and got a delightful surprise! A man with many great voices read the book to me and the pages turned themselves automatically. I didn't have to do anything except look at the cute illustrations! I was 7 years old again.

Mercy Watson's family are in a precarious situation and require rescuing. Mercy doesn't hesitate to run for help from the Lincoln sisters. The story has hot buttered toast, two firefighters set to rescue Mr. and Mrs. Watson, the grumpy Eugenia Lincoln and her kind sister, Baby. A fun read with wonderful illustrations.
Both my 3 year and old and 7 year old really enjoyed the book.
To explain my daughter read the book to both of us! She wanted to read it, and therefore it gets an obvious 4 stars!

(2014 review) The first chapter book I've ever read with Forrest! This was the perfect introduction to chapter books--there's a picture on almost every page, so he never got too antsy about the book being too long (as he has with other chapter books we've started and abandoned). He thought it was funny, and loved Mercy and the firemen.
(2016 review) We spotted this at the library today and he couldn't remember reading it already, so we checked it out again.
Here is his review: "Mercy was so funny! I liked the pictures and that there were so many pictures in the book. It was funny how she just wanted a snack but then she saved the day."

Nothing objectionable. The art is lovely. The book is humorous but nothing especially redemptive or thought provoking.
Adorable. I loved these books. They didn’t capture my son but for sure worth a try!
