Synopsis

"Halloween was made for carefree Mercy Watson." — School Library Journal

When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween — complete with tiara — 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 piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would lead them all on a Halloween "parade" of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.

Goodreads review by Calista on April 08, 2018

Halloween Season, I should have been tipped off from the title. A Great beginning series read. Short chapters, zany action, outrageous characters. Of course, the unspoken character is the buttered toast, which there is plenty of. Mrs. Watson dresses up Mercy as a Princess to go trick-or-treating whic......more

If only you knew how many times I have tried to get a child to read Mercy Watson: A Princess in Disguise. I bought it last year for the library--using my own money--because it looked like a colorful, fun, beginner chapter book. It didn't hurt that Kate DiCamillo was the author! I was sure the kids w......more

Mercy Watson, that 'porcine wonder' with an abiding love for buttered toast and a penchant for landing in trouble, returns in this fourth beginning chapter-book devoted to her adventures. In this installment of DiCamillo's series, it is Halloween on Deckawoo Drive, and the Watsons dress Mercy up as......more

Goodreads review by Darla on January 03, 2019

Mercy is indeed a porcine wonder in her princess costume. The Watson's bribe her with treats (for Mercy that equals buttered toast) to get her to put on the dress and tiara. As with other Mercy Watson books, Chris Van Dusen really brings the book to life. He and DiCamillo will entice many a reluctan......more
