And to the portly and good-natured Mercy, the Watsons are an excellent source of buttered toast, not to mention that buttery-toasty feeling she gets when she snuggles into bed with them. This is not, however, so good for the Watsons' bed. BOOM  CRACK  As the bed and its occupants slowly sink through the floor, Mercy escapes in a flash - \"to alert the fire department,\" her owners assure themselves. But could Mercy possibly have another emergency in mind - like a sudden craving for their neighbors' sugar cookies? Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson - an ebullient new character for early chapter-book readers in a series that's destined to be a classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate DiCamillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.62w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763622701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e88160 \/ Mercy Watson to the Rescue\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Monarch Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Beehive Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Buckaroo Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/20\/2005 pg. 77\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2005 pg. 971\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2005 pg. 176 - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2006 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2006 pg. 60 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate DiCamillo \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Despereaux\u003c\/i\u003e, which received the Newbery Medal; \u003ci\u003eBecause of Winn-Dixie\u003c\/i\u003e, which received a Newbery Honor; and \u003ci\u003eThe Tiger Rising\u003c\/i\u003e, which was named a National Book Award Finalist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Van Dusen\u003c\/b\u003e is an author and illustrator of several picture books.
