Welcome to Litsy!

“Pull over! Pigs cannot drive cars. Pull over immediately!” pg. 39.

The illustrations throughout the book made the story very enjoyable and added more humor to the story.

Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor and Two-time Newbery Medal, published 2006. This is a silly story that‘s good for older grades. It‘s exciting and thrilling with lots of laughter involved. The illustrations also excite the reader and keeps them engaged.

“Is that pig… behind the wheel?” The picture that goes along with it makes it that much better. The pure joy and fun in her face while she‘s doing something not good makes me laugh so hard. It is a reminder to enjoy life (not necessarily the illegal things).

This book is so cute and funny! The illustrations keep the reader engaged as they are very animated and expressive. This is a great start to chapter book reading for children. They chapters are only a few pages long and with the illustrations make them shorter as well.

I used this book for a photochallenge prompt a couple of years back, and got a very enthusiastic response from parents/teachers in-the-know - so finally found a copy to read! Really fun early chapter book, with pictures that are just joyous. Mercy (the pig) wants to drive the car. What could possibly go wrong?!

Also, much toast.

We have had sick kids the last week and half, so we are reading a lot to pass some of the time. This series is great for beginner chapter readers and my 4 year old listens to this as well. Mercy Is such a cool pig.

Mercy Watson Goes For a Ride by Kate DiCamillo is cute F book that would be a great RA. Mercy and her parents, Mr. And Mrs. Watson, always go for a ride every Saturday afternoon in their pink Cadillac after eating Mercy's favorite lunch - buttered toast! Every afternoon Mercy insists on driving but Mr. Watson won't allow it!.... But a surprise pops up in the back seat and Mercy somehow ends up behind the wheel and without a seatbelt to boot!!!

I needed something daft for today's prompt, and I want to believe the #Mercy Watson series is as fun as it looks.

Also, they have a stack of toast for the Home button on their website. Toast is severely underrated in website design - we need more buttons like that!

An #AugustGrrrl if ever I saw one. @Cinfhen

Finally another niece and nephew ready for Mercy !

Mercy may be a pig, but her owners treat her like a person, and hilarity ensues. The Mercy Watson series is one of our favorites. It's also my favorite series to recommend at the library for kiddos ready to listen to longer stories.
