Description



Book Synopsis



For fans of Mercy Watson, old and new, comes a joyful crescendo of favorite characters in a picture-book celebration of the quiet miracles the holidays bring. Mercy ornament included!

Stella Endicott felt joyful. She felt like something miraculous might happen. She wanted to sing.

When Stella gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity. The Watsons are very involved in a precarious fruitcake attempt (but happy to send their pig, Mercy, out for the occasion). Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany on her accordion, and Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement. Will Stella need to sing by herself--with enthusiastic contributions from the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up on the way? Or does the evening hold a miracle Stella hadn't expected? With tender affection for Mercy Watson and all her Deckawoo Drive friends, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen offer a picture-book homage to the season that is perfectly suited for family sharing--perhaps with some cups of hot cocoa and a stack of well-buttered toast.

Kids enjoyed

My kids love these books. Cute story line. A little shorter than the book set but it was a Christmas edition so I didn’t expect it to be as long. Kids loved the book and it was read multiple times over Christmas and after.

Here We Come A-Caroling

A little girl, Stella, desperately wants to go caroling but everyone she asks is too busy, or does not want to. All she has to carol with is Mercy the pig and her cat, General Washington. Very frustrated, she begins to sing and is surprised that both Mercy and General start “singing” with her. Out of nowhere, the horse Maybelline, joins them. The noise they make doesn’t sound much like a song, but it is joyful and loud! Next, they all have a very nice surprise when the unexpected happens. Fun and glee gather around them all, and those things will surround the reader, too. Children will love the story of Stella not giving up. This tale teaches little ones to hang in there, even when things look like they are not going your way. Sometimes not giving up can get you what you want—maybe even more than you want. The back of the book features a Christmas ornament that can be taken out and hung. This five-star picture book will be enjoyed by children aged three through seven-years-old, and I highly recommend it! Candlewick Press has provided Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, A Very Mercy Christmas, for the purpose of review.

Cute, sweet

Delightful Mercy pig and enthusiastic Stella Endicott set out to bring a bit of joy to the Christmas season by trying to garner interest in forming a Christmas caroling group from the neighborhood. Sadly, she is met with rudeness, busy people, uncooperative folks. So she seeks other help. A sweet joyful book the littles in your clan will enjoy. I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review. Opinions are mine, alone and are freely given.
