A Piglet Named Mercy
Collection Development A Piglet Prequel! Announcing Kate DiCamillo’s A PIGLET NAMED MERCY

Have Mercy! There’s a new piglet in town. Your young porcine-loving patrons may already know Mercy from her buttered toast-eating, convertible-riding, crime-fighting adventures, but they don’t yet know the story of how this pulchritudinous pig brought puckish joy into the lives of the erstwhile predictable Watsons. In the A Piglet Named Mercy audiobook, young listeners will learn how the Watson’s lives went from ordinary to really quite extra-oink-inary with the arrival of one very small, very unpredictable piglet. Ideal for family listening in the car, before bed or nap time, or hanging out on a rainy day. Make sure to stock up on this newest edition to the Mercy Watson collection!

Every porcine wonder was once a piglet! Celebrate the joy of a new arrival with the prequel to the New York Times best-selling Mercy Watson series—on audio.

And one day it does, when someone unpredictable finds her way to their front door. In a delightful origin story for the star of the Mercy Watson series, a tiny piglet brings love (and chaos) to Deckawoo Drive—and the Watson’s lives will never be the same.

Mercy Watson #1: Mercy Watson to the Rescue
To 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’s bed. BOOM! CRACK! Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson.

Mercy Watson #2: 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.

Has Mercy’s swine song come at last? Or will her well-pampered instincts keep her in buttered toast?

Mercy Watson #6: Something Wonky This Way Comes
