Booktalk
#1
Mr. and Mrs. Watson have a
pig named Mercy. Believe it or not, Mercy has her own bedroom in
the house. And each night, the Watsons tuck her into bed and sing
her to sleep. Well, one night, Mercy gets really scared after the
lights go out. So, she decides to jump into bed with the Watsons.
But, can the bed hold all of them?
Booktalk #2
Mercy is Mr. and Mrs. Watson’s
much-loved pig, but they prefer to call her a “porcine wonder.” They sing
her to sleep every night in her very own cozy bed, engraved with a big
“M” on the headboard. Mercy dreams of her favorite food, “hot buttered
toast with a great deal of butter on it.” Unfortunately, she wakes up in
the middle of the night feeling afraid, so she joins Mr. and Mrs. Watson
in their bed. They happily sleep together until they hear a “BOOM! CRACK!”
Mercy scampers from the Watson’s bed as a hole opens under it. Can Mercy
save Mr. and Mrs. Watson from falling through the hole and will she find
the buttered toast she scampered off to locate? Read this hilarious adventure
to find out. (Jean B. Bellavance for Pennsylvania
