Mercy Watson to the Rescue - 2005

From two-time Newbery Medal winner Kate DiCamillo comes the delightfully funny first adventure of Mercy Watson, a butter-loving pig with the biggest heart and the boldest sense of heroism. This 2005 printing has been transformed into a handcrafted journal that celebrates the joyful charm of DiCamillo’s storytelling and Chris Van Dusen’s lively illustrations.

In this classic early reader tale, Mercy lives with the Watson family and believes that her preferred snack is toast with butter. When an unexpected kitchen fire sends her climbing onto the roof, Mercy becomes an unlikely neighborhood hero, proving that bravery sometimes comes on four hooves. The entire original story remains inside the journal, woven among crisp writing pages that invite readers to continue the adventure on their own terms.

Bright, cheerful, and full of playful motion, this journal captures the spirit of a book that has helped countless young readers fall in love with stories. It makes a wonderful keepsake for fans of children’s literature, teachers, parents, and anyone who treasures lighthearted tales of clever courage and unexpected heroes.
