Book Reviews of Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride
Book Review: Jennifer Flamingo's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the story about Mercy (a pig), Mrs. Watson, Mr. Watson, Baby Lincoln, Eugenia Lincoln, and a Police Officer. In the beginning of the story we learned that Mercy wants to drive. Mr. Watson and Mercy go for a ride every Saturday in Mr. Watson's pink convertible. Every Saturday Mercy wants to drive the car but Mr. Watson says no. Mr. Watson gets distracted and Mercy jumps on Mr. Watson's lap. Mr. Watson is not happy that Mercy is driving but there is nothing that he can do. A police officer sees them speeding down the street with Mercy driving and tries to pull them over. They stop and Mercy goes flying out of the car. They call end up going back to the house and have a big stack of buttered toast. I like this story becuase the illustrations were bright and colorful and explained the story. This story is like Cinderella. Both Eugenia and the witch are ugly and mean and don't want anyone to be happy.
Summary of Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride
The amiable Mercy Watson takes an automobile ride she'll never forget in the second tale of an ebullient first chapter-book series by Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen.Mr. and Mrs. Watson's porcine wonder, Mercy, loves nothing more than a ride in the car. It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a "You are such a good sport, darling" to get the portly pig out of the driver's seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout. One day the Watsons' motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some "folly and adventure" ? and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! Soon there's a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy. Of course, it's nothing that an extra helping of buttered toast can't fix!
