Pig hero. Porcine wonder. Fan of toast with a great deal of butter on it. Mercy Watson’s disarming personality and hilarious hijinks are captivating early chapter-book readers everywhere. Now it’s easy to jumpstart a Mercy Watson collection with this enticing boxed set combining the first three adventures of the series: MERCY WATSON TO THE RESCUE (an American Library Association Notable Children’s Book), MERCY WATSON GOES FOR A RIDE (winner of a 2007 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor), and MERCY WATSON FIGHTS CRIME.

Mercy Watson October 9, 2008
My grandchildren love the stories about Mercy Watson. They are entertaining and have food for thought and discussion if desired.
Very nice collection of books September 28, 2008
This is a very nice collection of books and I would recommend it for anyone tp purchase. Mercy Watson is an adorable pig and the stories are so precious.
Great "Advanced" Chapter Books May 1, 2008

This series is a great set of chapter books for kids who have gotten beyond "early reader" chapter books that also enjoy humor in what they read. The central characters, who make repeat performances in each book, add to the delight of the story because of their offbeat personalities. I am not sure how the author decided to feature a pig that eats toast, but it is pure genius that will delight both the young reader and parents as well. I think I looked forward to the new "Mercy" installments as much as my son did.
Mercy Watson (and Kate D.) to the rescue January 30, 2008

What a great addition to the early chapter book category. Humor, great characters, real linear storytelling and eye-popping illustrations make these books a real breath of fresh air for early readers. My young (struggling) reader was bringing home thin, uninspiring early readers until her teacher added Mercy Watson to the read-alouds. I knew we had a hit (and a breakthrough) when my child brought them on vacation, raced through them reading silently to herself. Just one problem, we've finished the series and will have to wait six months for the next one. If you're child is having difficulty getting "into" books, these make make a big difference.
This is a great set for 4+ year olds December 28, 2007

Very cute set of stories about a couple who have a "pet" pig named Mercy who they treat like their child. Great illustrations and fun story line. My 4-1/2 year old son just got these for Christmas and loves them. The illustrator has done some other books that are excellent ("If I Built a Car") which I also highly recommend. This gift set is hard back and of very nice quality.
