What is the silliest thing Mercy did in the books?
Gabe (6): "Someone thought she was a monster! And the police came and found out it was a pig."
Julia (8): "I think the funniest thing is that she thinks that chasing is really fun. Like when she gets chased by people who are actually trying to catch her."
Mom's Notes: Because I think Kate DiCamillo is an incredible writer, I purchased this set on a whim for a family Christmas gift. Mercy Watson is a hoot and these simple stories are hilarious. The books are very easy-readers, so Julia breezed through them on her own and they are just the right level for first-grade Gabe. Evy and I have read them all more than once in the past few months, usually reading an entire book in one sitting while the babies nap and we snuggle on the couch. So naturally she now often requests "toast with a great deal of butter on it" for lunch! Who can resist?
