It's Halloween, and Mrs. Watson is determined to create the perfect porcine costume for Mercy.
Mercy, not overly excited by the costume but delighted to trick or treat, runs into some hijinks on their trip to Eugenia and Baby's house. General Washington, Eugenia's cat, gets chased and runs up a tree; the fire department comes to rescue him, albeit they're confused about how General Washington is stuck in a tree. And the story ends with buttery toast for all—a cute story with delightful illustrations.
