DiCamillo, K. (2008). Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig. Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press.
The illustrations in this early reader, by Chris Van Dusen, are bright, colorful and entertaining. Another book in the series won the Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor Book Award. The story is full of silly characters like Mr. and Mrs. Watson who are Mercy’s proud and doting “parents,” and who like to make her toast. Mercy is a hopelessly hungry pig and will do anything, including joining tea parties for the reward of food. The writing is humorous, the illustrations vibrant, it is sure to capture the attention of all readers. (Grade 1 and up).

I have read one of these and think it is great! It was used for the "battle of the books" at many of the schools in my area. Kids liked it!
