I'm a big Kate DiCamillo fan and a Mercy Watson fan. In Stella Endicott and the Anything-Is-Possible Poem, we are transported back to Deckawoo drive. If you are familiar with the series you will see many familiar faces. I liked this book, Stella is one of my favorite characters. In this book Stella finds unexpected friendship in an unexpected place. Since we are big Mercy Watson fans we bought our own copy after it was released. I think this story is a great addition to the world of Mercy Watson and Deckawoo Drive.
I received an advanced copy for my honest review.

Editorial Reviews
Review
The academic setting, imaginative Stella, and brown-noser Horace combine for an ideal opportunity for DiCamillo to exercise her characteristic wordplay...An adorable story that teaches readers that things—and people—are not always what they seem.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
DiCamillo regularly uses advanced vocabulary and seamlessly weaves word definitions into the plot. With metaphor as a primary concept, this text could easily be used in a classroom curriculum. Van Dusen’s illustrations are delightful as always, and enhance the story with their humorous and exaggerated quality. An engaging and high quality book for young students that will appeal to reluctant and advanced readers alike.
—School Library Journal
This fifth entry in the series (Leroy Ninker Saddles Up, rev. 9/14, and sequels) stars young Stella Endicott...As ever, Van Dusen’s frequent illustrations add so much, capturing with apt exaggeration all the drama, humor, and emotions of Stella’s adventure- and metaphor-filled day.

Most kids today are familiar with Mercy the pig (shown on the cover). While this installment from Kate DiCamillo does include the house trained hog, she plays a minor part in the story. Stella is in 2nd grade and has to sit by the most annoying, know-it-all boy in the class, Horace. At least she has a teacher that she adores.
When that beloved teacher assigns a project to write a poem with a metaphor, Stella snuggles up to her favorite pig for inspiration. She felt so proud of her poem, until she foolishly lets Horace read her poem and one hum dinger of an argument ensues which then leads to {horror of horrors} a trip to the principal's office. But there is still adventures to be had between their classroom and office and in the end, Stella and Horace gain a greater appreciation for their differences.
The illustrations are marvelous and help illustrate the action so well. Kids will enjoy seeing the representation of each character in the story (including Mercy as well!). Readers will learn a bit about poetry and metaphors so this would make an excellent read for elementary classrooms. Readers will also learn a fair amount of vocabulary (helpfully defined by Horace within the story), and also learn some valuable lessons about friendship.
I highly recommend not only this book by Kate DiCamillo, but all the other titles about Mercy Watson. DiCamillo's books should be staples in any literary diet.

Stella Suzanne Endicott has just started the second grade with a new teacher. Miss Liliana has given them the assignment to write a poem with a metaphor. Stella writes her metaphor poem about a couch-sitting pig, an accordion playing wizard, and leaves dancing like ballerinas to the ground. The next day, her classmate, Horace Broom, reads her poem and declares the pigs do not sit on couches. This starts an argument that causes them to be sent to the principle’s office and on an adventure to discover patterns and surprises, courage and curiosity.
Kate DiCamillo is on the top of my families list. We’ve always loved and enjoyed her stories, and Stella’s story was no exception. She was adorable and a joy to read about as she explored metaphors, made new friends, and learned important lessons along the way. Chris Van Dusen’s drawings are delightful in this story, especially the ones of Horace. My girls giggled every time his picture came up. Appropriate for elementary-aged children, Stella Endicott and the Anything-Is-Possible Poem is a delightful read and one that can be read over and over again.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
