## About this book

Mercy, a buttered-toast-loving pig, is the beloved 'porcine wonder' of the Watson household — and when her owners' bed starts to fall through the floor, Mercy's quest for a snack accidentally saves the day. Kate DiCamillo's funny, full-color early chapter book is a grades K-3 favorite for newly independent readers.
