Here Comes Mercy!

We were introduced to the Mercy Watson books by Kate DiCamillo when L was in Kindergarten. I really enjoy reading these books both for the words and for the pictures. The illustrations are bright and colorful and make the stories come alive.

Last night we read Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes. Mercy is a pig who LOVES butter especially on toast. We were only going to read a chapter or two before bed, but we ended up reading the whole thing because it was so funny and we had to see how it was going to end. Mercy is searching for movie popcorn with lots of butter in this one. It definitely had me craving some buttery kernels!
A big Happy Birthday to my L! We had fun playing today!
