Don't miss the Deckawoo Drive series starring favorite characters from the Mercy Watson titles! Yippie-i-oh! Leroy Ninker has a hat, a lasso, and boots. What he doesn't have is a horse — until he meets Maybelline, that is, and then it's love at first sight. Francine Poulet is the greatest animal control officer in Gizzford County. She is never scared — until she’s faced with a screaming raccoon that may or may not be a ghost. Maybe Francine isn’t cut out to be an animal control officer after all! Baby Lincoln’s older sister, Eugenia, is very fond of telling Baby what to do, and Baby usually responds by saying “Yes, Sister.” But one day Baby has had enough. Eugenia Lincoln is a practical person with no time for gee-gaws, whoop-de-whoops, or frivolity. But when an unexpected package containing an accordion arrives at her house, she discovers that a bit of frivolity could be surprisingly... joyous?

Stella crafts a beautiful poem about Mercy Watson, the pig who lives next door, but irritating classmate Horace Broom insists that her poem is full of lies. Will the two of them find a way to turn this opposite-of-a-poem day around? When worrier Franklin Endicott accompanies Eugenia Lincoln on an errand to duplicate a key at her favorite thrift shop, odd Buddy Lamp sends them home with a strange third key. Can he come to terms with the mystery without buckling under his dread? When Mercy Watson goes missing, all of Deckawoo Drive is in an uproar. The Watsons are inconsolable, and the local safety departments are no help whatsoever. Who will find their porcine wonder? Read the highly satisfying, extra-special series finale! Read the first book in Kate DiCamillo's new warm and funny early-reader trilogy about Orris the kind rat and Timble the naive owl — and the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Ideal for Mercy and Deckawoo fans! COMING IN APRIL!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kate DiCamillo’s writing journey has been a truly remarkable one. She grew up in Florida and moved to Minnesota in her twenties, when homesickness and a bitter winter led her to write Because of Winn-Dixie — her first published novel, which became a runaway bestseller and snapped up a Newbery Honor. The Tiger Rising, her second novel, was also set in Florida and went on to become a National Book Award finalist. Since then, the best-selling author has explored settings as varied as a medieval castle and a magician’s theater while continuing to enjoy great success, winning two Newbery Medals and being named National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. She now has over 40 million books in print worldwide.

This is a great set of books for 1st grade level readers. Each page has enough to read, but not an overwhelming amount for young minds therefore they stay excited and engaged with the story. Each page also has bright and colorful pictures. The content is 1st grade humor and will keep your kiddo excited to take on a chapter book!
My 1st grader told us about these books and is now reading them to us!

Great books for kids who aren’t ready for true chapter books. Nice illustrations. I was having a hard time getting my 8 year old to read independently. This set was recommended to me. She was glued to the books and read them all in the first 2 days. Since she likes them so much, I ordered a second set to donate to her 3rd grade classroom.

A beloved set that I read to my 1st grade class every year. Each character is unique and funny in their own way. We love how Mercy insinuates herself into such crazy predicaments and somehow she always manages to find a solution!

I bought this book set for my almost 5 year old and wanted to keep it hidden for a month before his birthday. I couldn’t wait though ))
The books are a very nice size, with pretty and funny pictures and good font for young independent readers.
We found the books very funny and really entertaining! My son kept laughing and squealing with delight! I know these books are probably not very educational but come on, they are fun! And fun is good! So I do recommend them!

The books are just amazing. A wonderful start to introducing Chapter books to you kiddo. My 6-year old, adores the books. The stories are simple, easy to read and the perfect transition from a picture book kinda read to a slightly heavy on text read without the kid feeling bored. Each of these Mercy Watson stories are amazing. They have us giggling and laughing so hard. All my kid wants for breakfast now is hot buttered toast with a great deal of butter on it.
