Description:
When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess costume for Halloween--complete with a tiara--hilarity ensues. Full color.
Review Quotes: As always, the Watsons' enthusiasm for their porcine marvel is both hysterical and heartwarming. There is something reassuring about the way they regard Mercy: She is beautiful. She is wonderful. She is adored. Which actually sums up the way I feel about Kate DiCamillo's series.
