Cottonwood.School | Mar 12, 2009 | This was a very cute book about a couple with a pig, Mercy. Mercy sneaks into bed with them at night and they are all so heavy that they get stuck in the floor with the bed threatening to crash through. Mercy makes a run for it and runs next door for food. The neighbor calls the fire department and Mercy's parents are saved when they arrive. This is a pretty cute entertaining early chapter book for kids. Mercy is a very cute character who obviously is only thinking about toast with lots of hot butter on it during the whole story. The illustartions are very cute too and Mercy is given lots of expression. I would include this in my classroom library. its' entertaining for hte younger kids. (  )ericarhenry | Dec 2, 2008 | Chapter book, fantasy for primary grade levels. Mercy comes to the rescue when he gets too heavy and breaks the floor of his parents bedroom. He runs for help and saves them. The underdog become the hero. Gouache ( )ashore06 | Nov 23, 2008 | Age Appropriateness: Later elementary Review: This book is a good example of Modern Fantasy. It creates a believable world with firemen and neighbors, yet has a pig that enjoys toast, sleeps in beds and is like a child which gives the story a fantasy aspect. The story shows truths to children such as always being able to call the fire department and they will be there to help you no matter what your need may be. Characterization: Baby Lincoln is the elder next door neighbor lady to the Watsons. She is a flat character because we do not know much about her besides the fact that she likes pigs and gives Mercy treats. She is also a static character because she has the same characteristics and personality in the beginning of the story as the end of the story.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763622702, Hardcover)From the one and only Kate DiCamillo comes an irresistible new hero for early chapter book readers, brightly captured with comic nostalgic flair by Chris Van Dusen.To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig — she's a porcine wonder. And to the portly and good-natured Mercy, the Watsons are an excellent source of buttered toast, not to mention that buttery-toasty feeling she gets when she snuggles into bed with them. This is not, however, so good for the Watsons' bed. BOOM! CRACK! As the bed and its occupants slowly sink through the floor, Mercy escapes in a flash — "to alert the fire department," her owners assure themselves. But could Mercy possibly have another emergency in mind — like a sudden craving for their neighbors' sugar cookies? Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson — an ebullient new character for early chapter-book readers in a series that's destined to be a classic.
