Tens of thousands kids are devoted fans New York Times best-selling Mercy Watson chapter book series from two-time Newbery Medal winner Kate DiCamillo, and popular children's illustrator Chris Van Dusen -- after all, who can resist the crazy adventures of a pig who can foil a robber, squeeze into a tutu, or drive a car? Well now there's a brand new picture book from the duo, to introduce Mercy the Pig's outrageous exploits to a younger audience:  A Piglet Named Mercy. This wonderfully illustrated book brings to life the origin story of Mercy, who grows to bring constant adventure, unpredictability and fun to the lives of the very ordinary (perhaps too ordinary?) Mr. and Mrs. Watson.
