Synopses & Reviews
Mercy Watson to the RescueTo Mr. & Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig-she's a porcine wonder. And to the portly and good-natured Mercy, the Watson's are an excellent source of buttered toast, no to mention that buttery-toast feeling she gets when she snuggles in to bed with them. This is not, however so good for the Watsons' bed. BOOM! CRACK! Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson.
Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride
Mr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a "You are such a good sport, darling" to get the portly pig out of the driver's seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout.
Synopsis
In two Mercy Watson tales, Mercy the pig finds herself behind the wheel of Mr. Watson's Cadillac, and Mercy joins Mr. and Mrs. Watson in their bed, only to awaken with the bed teetering on the edge of a big hole in the floor.
