Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes -- Kate DiCamillo

<b>The porcine wonder is off to the drive-in -- and driven to follow that buttery smell -- in a comic crescendo that reunites a familiar cast of characters.</b> <p/>Some may find it wonky to take a pig to the movies. But not Mr. and Mrs. Watson, who think the title of the film<i> </i>is inspirational. And not their beloved Mercy, who is inspired by the fact that the drive-in proudly serves real butter on its Bottomless Bucket of popcorn. So when they pull up in their convertible, Mercy lifts her snout and becomes a pig on a mission - for what is more heavenly than being hot on the trail of a true butter smell? Masterful slapstick director Kate DiCamillo sends Mercy on a delirious chase, followed by a trail of hapless rescuers that fans will recognize from prior episodes. And Chris Van Dusen's comic retro illustrations perfectly capture a nostalgic pastime - along with the newest antics of a charmingly single-minded pig.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Kate DiCamillo<br><b>Publisher:</b> Candlewick Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 07/14/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 96<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 6.40w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780763636449<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>131446 / Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes<br><br><b>Award:</b> Buckeye Children's Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Awar
