Mercy Watson to the Rescue by Kate DiCamillo

3.0

Goodreads list function is leading me to read all sorts of books that would otherwise pass me by! And that would be a shame, because this is both charming and funny. And strangely relatable - we all know those people who think their pets are smarter than they appear. (Unfortunately I'm not one of them, I'm all too aware my cat could be out-thought by a pineapple.) But Mercy's owners are so certain of their greedy pet's genius that they're all too convinced that the animal they so closely resemble (ha!) has saved their bacon. When really, Mercy's motivations are a lot more... piggish.
