Mr. and Mrs. Watson have a pet pig named Mercy, whom they adore. Mercy is a lovable pig, whose favorite thing in the world is hot buttered toast. One night, she is lonely in her room and decides to crawl into bed with Mr. and Mrs. Watson. Everything is fine until the bed grows too heavy under their weight and starts to fall through the floor of their second-story bedroom. Mercy, being hungry, goes in search of food—but Mr. and Mrs. Watson are certain she’s going off to find help for them. After a hilarious misadventure with a couple of old women next door, Mr. and Mrs. Watson are, inadvertently, saved by some fireman, because of Mercy. What a cute book! The illustrations are hilarious, and I am curiously hungry…for hot buttered toast!
