About this item

The amiable Mercy Watson takes an automobile ride shell never forget in the second tale of an ebullient first chapter-book series by Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen.Mr. and Mrs. Watsons porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a quotYou are such a good sport, darlingquot to get the portly pig out of the drivers 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. One day the Watsons motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some quotfolly and adventurequot and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! Soon theres a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy.
