Publisher Description

"Halloween was made for carefree Mercy Watson." — School Library Journal When 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 beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.

"Great book! I feel that this book really would capture the attention of all readers. It caught mine! Mercy catches a theif trying to steal their toaster. Mercy can't let that happen because without a toaster you can't have toast. This book was funny and would be great for third grade. "

    " We've read a few Mercy Watson books and we've really enjoyed them. They are silly, easy to read, and have fun pictures. This one, with a Halloween theme, is funny and of course, ends up with everyone having some toast with a great deal of butter. "

    " This book was obviously not read at the time where little pigs seemed "cuuuuuuute!" and dressing them in tutus seemed roll-on-the-floor funny. It was a sweet book, but for a more juvenile crowd, and i appreciate that. I, however, LOVE Kate Dicamillo...... "
