Mercy Watson #5: Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig
Eugenia and Baby Lincoln may live next door to a pig, but that doesn’t stop them from living a gracious life. And the amiable Mercy Watson is equally determined to follow the delightful scent (and delicious taste) of the pansies her thoughtful neighbors are planting to beautify their yard. "Where have all the flowers gone?" shouts Eugenia, who is finally ready to take extreme measures —- and dial Animal Control! 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
Mr. and Mrs. Watson and their porcine wonder, Mercy, are off to the Bijou Drive-In. What will happen when the Lincoln Sisters, Frank, Stella, and a gaggle of familiar characters get the same idea for a night out? With the tempting scent of hot buttered popcorn wafting through the air, everyone’s favorite pig leads the way in this hilarious romp featuring movies, mayhem, and Mercy!

From AudioFile

Mercy Watson--the pig who loves buttered toast--is back, to the consternation of the Lincoln sisters. Her first adventure involves the newly planted flowers in the Lincolns' yard; the second one unfolds when Mercy attends a special evening at the Bijou Drive-In. Narrator Ron McLarty creates distinctive characters and maintains each personality throughout the production. He dramatizes the conversations between cranky Eugenia and sensitive Baby Lincoln. He is curt as Animal Control Officer Francine Poulet, authoritative as Mr. Watson, and indignant as Mrs. Watson. As narrator, he maintains a steady pace and an intensity that underscores DiCamillo's humor. A.R. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

My daughter is five now, and she has loved this series for a couple of years now. The books have many words, and are repetitive without being dull. They introduce vocabulary, and are fun. She reads them now and laughs at Mercy's adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great job on the audible!, February 25, 2010

I don't have kids, but I was to do a pig presentation for a children's book club so I thought I better read this series! Found the audible version and I have to say it was thoroughly enjoyable! Every child should read this series!
