About Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes
Product Description "Youngsters are sure to delight in the exploits of this butter-loving pig, savoring the ‘wonky in the extreme’ text and energetic, innocent art." —School Library JournalSome may find it wonky to take a pig to the drive-in. But not the Watsons, who think the movie’s title, When Pigs Fly, is inspirational. And not their beloved Mercy, who is inspired by the scent of real butter from the theater’s Bottomless Buckets of popcorn. As they pull up in their convertible, Mercy lifts up her snout and becomes a pig on a mission, leading a delirious chase that’s trailed by hapless rescuers reunited from Mercy’s earlier adventures. Review Youngsters are sure to delight in the exploits of this butter-loving pig, savoring DiCamillo’s ‘wonky in the extreme’ text and Van Dusen’s energetic, innocent art.—School Library JournalIt’s truly satisfying to step into the flamboyant world of Mercy Watson and give oneself to the latest adventure.—Yellow Brick Road About the Author Kate DiCamillo is the author of THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, which won the Newbery Medal; BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor; THE TIGER RISING, a National Book Award Finalist; THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE, winner of a BOSTON GLOBE-HORN BOOK Award; and the NEW YORK TIMES best-selling picture book GREAT JOY.
