Description/Notes
Can visions of treats entice a porcine wonder to wear her princess costume? Hold on for some Halloween havoc, Mercy Watson-style! 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 those piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would get into the act and lead them all on a Halloween 'parade' of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillos beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor. Persuaded by the word 'treating' to dress up as a princess for Halloween, Mercy the pig's trick-or-treat outing has some very unexpected results. The beguiling pig created by Newbery Medalist DiCamillo ('The Tale of Despereaux') is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor, in which she creates some Halloween havoc. Full color. Mercy is dressed up in a pink princess dress for Halloween - but when the neighbours' cat leads the Watsons on a hysterical parade, all manner of tricks, treats and toast ensue.
