Mercy Watson Princess In Disguise B Cd

"Halloween was made for carefree Mercy Watson." – School Library Journal Features an audio read-along! 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.

Mercy the pig is in for a Halloween adventure when Mr. and Mrs. Watson decide to dress her up as a princess and take her trick-or-treating.

Mercy est la petite truie des Watson, qui lui vouent une véritable admiration et la traitent comme leur enfant. Une situation que déplore leur vieille et grincheuse voisine, Eugénia Lincoln, qui saisit la moindre occasion pour leur rappeler que les cochons n'ont pas leur place dans une maison. Toutefois, Mercy trouve une fidèle alliée en la soeur de cette dernière, Soeurette Lincoln, qui lui a fait découvrir la saveur des biscuits au sucre. D'ailleurs, la petite truie est extrêmement gourmande et cause de véritables branle-bas de combat lorsqu'elle décide de satisfaire sa faim, et ce, toujours au moment le plus incongru ... Chaque titre de la série relate ainsi une aventure loufoque de Mercy et de ses propriétaires, dont l'humour est essentiellement axé sur les relations de voisinage entre les Watson et les Lincoln, de même que sur les situations abracadabrantes dans lesquelles ne manque pas de se mettre Mercy. -- Des peintures au trait dynamique, campant les personnages typés et légèrement caricaturaux dans des décors finement travaillés, illustrent, dans une esthétique évoquant le cinéma d'animation, le texte rédigé dans une large typographie. Une première lecture amusante entre aventure, humour et tendresse. [SDM].

Bossy neighbor Eugenia Lincoln is not quite as sad as she might be, but thankfully her sister, Baby Lincoln, has the idea to hire a private investigator.

Meanwhile, Frank and Stella Endicott and Stella’s friend Horace Broom are ready to do some investigating of their own. Will the clever neighborhood sleuths manage to follow the trail of hoofprints—and a certain overwhelmingly enticing scent—and recover their porcine wonder?
