About the Book
The beguiling porcine wonder turns bucking bronco in order to snare a robber in this hilarious new addition to the "New York Times"-bestselling series. Full color.Book Synopsis
Another rollicking addition starring the porcine wonder. . . . Will keep newly independent readers turning the pages. -- School Library Journal (starred review) Leroy Ninker is a small man with a big dream: he wants to be a cowboy, but for now he's just a thief. In fact, Leroy is robbing the Watsons' kitchen right this minute! As he drags the toaster across the counter -- screeeeeech -- and drops it into his bag -- clannngggg -- little does he know that a certain large pig who loves toast with a great deal of butter is stirring from sleep. Even less could he guess that comedy of errors (not to mention the buttery sweets in his pocket) will soon lead this little man on the wild and raucous rodeo ride he's always dreamed of! Nosy neighbors, astonished firemen, a puzzled policeman, and the ever-doting Watsons return for a tongue-in-snout adventure about Kate DiCamillo's delightfully single-minded pig.Review Quotes
Mercy is back in this fun third installment of merrymaking, buttered-toast eating, and crime solving.--Kirkus Reviews The shiny, retro pictures still amuse.
--Booklist Another rollicking adventure...DiCamillo has creatively woven in the elements that a good easy reader should have: repetition, simple sentence structure, and controlled vocabulary.
--School Library Journal (starred review) Charming and colorful.
--Dayton Daily News This silly story makes my nearly 9-year-old son laugh out loud at every reading (yes, it's been requested multiple times).
--Denver Post

Cute book about a pig who loves buttered toast
My 3.5 year old daughter really loves police and other emergency responders. I thought this book would be a bit advanced for her, but the topic of a pig fighting crime seemed like it would interest her. She LOVES it. I had to read it to her (in full) three times on the first day we had it. The story is cute, and there are illustrations throughout the book. We will buy more books about Mercy the pig.
