Review Detail

Mercy Watson, pig extraordinaire, is back in the second book of the series, again illustrated with zany glee by Chris Van Dusen. When Mercy takes her weekly car ride in Mr. Watson's convertible, she wants to drive. Mrs. Watson always bribes her with hot buttered toast to get Mercy to move out of the driver's seat. Mr. Watson loves to drive. However, he never looks behind him . . .and he tends to speed.

One day during their drive, Mercy and Mr. Watson discover a stowaway. Mr. Watson is so distracted, he quits looking at the road. Eek! What can Mercy do? It's the craziest adventure yet for the Watsons' porcine wonder . . .and I simply cannot wait for the next one!
