Mercy Watson to the Rescue by Kate DiCamillo

4.0

This is a children's book geared towards 1st grade students. I read it to preview it for my classroom. It was a delightful story about a pig, her human owners, and her silly neighbors. From a teacher perspective, I like that it had short chapters, only a few sentences per page, appropriate vocabulary (aside from describing Mercy as a porcine wonder), and nice colorful pictures. If you're looking for an early chapter book, or an animal story for your first grader, check it out.
