  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Can visions of treats entice a porcine wonder to wear her princess costume? Hold on for some Halloween havoc, Mercy Watson-style!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween &amp;#8212; complete with tiara &amp;#8212; they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick-or-TREATING and can picture those piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would get into the act and lead them all on a Halloween &quot;parade&quot; of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo&amp;#8217;s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I think we actually liked the fun pictures more than the actual story.  (Sorry, Kate!)  Mr. and Mrs. Watson dress Mercy up in a princess costume and she chases a cat.<br/><br/>The story was slightly confusing because this is our first Mercy book and we don't know the characters.

    <body><![CDATA[Mercy Watson is absolutely delightful!  I giggled over Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride, and this one was just as funny.  Chris Van Dusen's illustrations are a hoot (pig in a princess costume) and of course Mercy is up for any and all shenanigans as long as they involved buttered toast.  A good chapter ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33080640">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am not a fan of the Mercy Watson series. Maybe I would like them as a kid, but I doubt it. I didn't care for Amelia Bedelia as kid. Not that these are similar. <br/><br/>I am too much like Eugenia Lincoln:<br/><br/>&quot;In my opinion,&quot; said Eugenia, &quot;pigs should not go trick-or-treating...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9894559">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[We LOVE Mercy Watson, but this one wasn't such a hit. Perhaps because I have a male majority in my home and they aren't big on dressing up as princesses? I thought it was a cute story and there was a great chase sequence for the little boy listener. ]]></body>
