“Halloween was made for carefree Mercy Watson.”—School Library JournalWhen the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween —complete with tiara — they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick-or-treating and can picture piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would lead them all on a Halloween “parade” of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s delightful pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.

ONE OF MY VERY FAVORITE CHILDRENS STORIES, 7 IN THE SERIES. MERCY WATSON MAKES ME SMILE, I AM ALL GROWED UP, 50 YRS OLD, BUT I LOVE CHILDRENS BOOKS. MY GO TO MANY TIMES, WHEN I AM FEELING DOWN, NEED A SMILE TO LIFT MY SPIRITS. I AM COLLECTING A GAMMYS LIBRARY FOR MY ONE DAY GRANDCHILDREN.DON'T FORGET TO MAKE TOAST W/ BUTTER. THATS MERCYS FAV :-D
I bought this book for my 1st grade daughter. She wanted chapter books. She is not too much interested in reading by herself but with this book not only she reads but she wants to keep reading to find more about the story. Plus the illustrations are nice and funny. I am on tonight to buy the other 3 books. In fact, I suggest buying this Mercy Watson: Princess in disguise first and if you like it then the box has the other 3 titles. Its more for K-1, it might be easy for 2nd graders. Hopefully the author will come out with more soon.
Kate DiCamillo's MERCY WATSON: PRINCESS IN DISGUISE is the fourth pig tale in the best-selling series: this centered around Halloween on Deckawoo Drive, and the perfect costume for Mercy. Full-page color drawings by Chris Van Dusen are hilarious accompaniments to the story of a pink pig who tries to become a princess on Halloween.
This is our third Mercy Watson book, and my daughter is totally enraptured. I love that the characters are recurring throughout the series. The chapters are easily digestible by a 4-year-old, and the illustrations are gorgeous. This book was our first introduction to General Washington the cranky cat, who has become a favorite. I was looking for just the right series for my daughter's level (still needing pictures, but ready to move up to chapter books) and these are perfect. This one in particular is great because it incorporates Halloween and princesses, two of my daughter's favorite things, while not being over-the-top "princesses are beautiful and therefore wonderful."
My 6 year old granddaughter has all the Mercy Watson books and loves them so I ordered this for my 8 year old granddaughter. It is her first Mercy Watson book. She loved it! And I have now odered a second one for her.
My 4 year old picked up Mercy Watson from the library counter and we have fallen in love. I'm really not sure which I love more --- text or illustrations? Text wins ONLY because were it not for the idea there would be no illustrations. We read a minimum of one a day. I've got them all sitting in the closet waiting for her birthday --- she will be thrilled to KEEP them instead of just checking them out.There is one danger though with this series ---- I've had to explain that "toast with a great deal of butter on it" is really not the best breakfast option. We have done it though --- on a blue plate no less. But it's a "special" event when she gets to play the pig. The other day she was "narrowing her eyes" as she decided to scoot over in a seat. Cracks me up. All of this is from the series --- the books are beautifully interwoven.And Chris Van Dusen's illustrations deserve accolades as well. I found myself flipping from book to book and from one illustration to another to see if I could catch a mistake. They are illustrated photographs I swear. He captured our hearts ---- we ordered his books (A camping spree with Mr. Magee, Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee, If I Built a Car) and would highly recommend them all. Cute books --- great rhyming. The Magee books are the best but we got a kick out of finding Mr. Magee and Dee (his dog) pictured in the If I Built a Car book.We own all of Mo Willems' stuff ---- I didn't need yet another illustrator and series to be so enthralled with!
I tutor a group of 2nd grade girls. We read this story as a book study. The girls and I loved it! We could not wait to read it each time we met and they never wanted to stop. We are on to our next Mercy Watson story.
We love every one of the Mercy Watson books. The only negative, she didn't write more. Mercy Watson and the neighbors on Deckawoo Drive are so fun to read. I love the humor and the wit of Kate's writing. I don't mind reading these books over and over and over and over again. How often can a parent say that? Your children will love the adventures of Mercy Watson as she explores her neighborhood and eats toast with a great deal of butter on it.
