The characters in this story are so endearing. Even Eugenia! The antics of Mercy within these pages mixed with DiCamillo’s way of writing really push the Mercy Watson books past all the other early chapter books into its own league. No wonder Mercy is considered a porcine wonder!

A fairly cute, beginning chapter book. I wavered between a 3 and a 4 but ultimately went with the 4 because the book uses the word "porcine." I like to imagine groups of 1st and 2nd graders walking around and using the word "porcine." The thought makes me happy.
We read this in one sitting and then my first grader and even fourth grader took it and read it again on their own. Very simple, silly story with a cute pig and great illustrations. We will definitely be reading more of this series.
Super talented writer paired with a super talented illustrator. Does it get much better?
This was a cute story. The pictures and reading level were similar to The Princess in Black. My 5 year old enjoyed and kept asking to read another chapter.
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!
A cute emerging reader book about a pig named Mercy who loves buttered toast. In a roundabout way, she ends up saving Mr. and Mrs. Watson from falling through a hole in their ceiling in their bed. I bet kids would like this one for its sillyness, so I will definitely recommend it and its sequels.
I’m reading through these books as part of the read-aloud program I’ve put together for my three year-old son. I firmly believe he’s still too young for any kind of formal education, but I also passionately believe that the most powerful thing I can do to shape their education is read aloud with them. That being said, the Mercy Watson series are PERFECT for kids ages 3-6. My three year-old giggles all the way through, and even my five year-old is engaged and chuckling the entire time. I read no more than three chapters per day in order to accommodate the limited (read: almost nonexistent...) attention span of a three year-old. But my five year-old always begs for more!
These books are imaginative, adventurous, hilarious, and downright delightful. The sentences are simple and short, the vocabulary is also fairly simple and easy to comprehend, and the illustrations are so fun. I highly recommend these books, especially for reading aloud with very young kids!

This was really fun! I read it with my students and they really enjoyed it!
