This was one of the first chapter books I read with my 5 year old son. We couldn't put it down. We finished it in just a few days. He just loves it.

Mercy Watson to the Rescue, by Kate DiCamillo, is a wonderful chapter book for beginning readers.  Mercy Watson, a lovable family member, who happens to be a pig, embarks on many adventures throughout the night and into the morning.  The adventure begins when Mercy realizes she is afraid of the dark, and she makes her way into her parent's bed where she feels warm and safe.  As they sleep dreaming, they are awakened by a loud boom followed by a crack in the floor that leaves their bed hanging out of the ceiling.  As Mercy jumps off the bed and runs out of the room, Mr. and Mrs. Watson believe she is going for help, when in reality she is in search of her favorite meal, hot buttered toast.  Unable to find the toast, Mercy wonders where she can get a snack.  She remembers her neighbor, Baby Lincoln, likes sugar cookies and shares.  Upon remembering this, Mercy ventures over to her neighbors house and pecks on her bedroom window.  Thinking Mercy is a monster, Baby Lincoln screams, and awakens her sister, Eugenia Lincoln, who calls the fire department.  As the evening continues, the adventures do as well.  What will Mercy do?  Will she get help for her parents?  Will Mr. and Mrs. Watson be saved?  What about the Lincoln sisters?

I enjoyed reading this story, and found it hard to put down once I started reading it.  The story, along with the wonderful picture illustrations, kept my attention and interest.  I wanted to know what was going to happen next.  I believe young children will enjoy reading what happens to Mercy Watson in this book, as well as, in her upcoming adventures.

I know it sounds like a crock but I am only one chapter in and already this book makes a lot of sense to me. I already am using the skills i learned in this book.

I have only read 5 chapters and they were not easy to read.  I will be starting Chapter 6, hopefully this and all the succeeding chapters will grab my attention.

I read this to my 4 year old. He enjoyed our first chapter book, but some parts are a little dark for a small kid.

I've read all his books (like 16) and this is one of the best... although the 1st chapter was clearly a change of pace!

I heard Patrick read the first chapter of his book at his release party tonight - gritty, gripping and funny.

wanted to find a book with "chapters" so my early reader felt like the big kids. This is the first in a series. I believe we will continue to find out the adventures of Mercy.

I recently had to read a portion of this boook for one of my grad school classes; I enjoyed that first chapter so much that I decided that I HAD to read the whole thing, and I will someday.  It was a great price and the book is in great condition.

Short chapters, broken up by illustrative pencil and ink drawings, make this a good first chapter book for grades 3 and up. The stories include history and global geography, and are humorous and touching.

The first chapter of this book sent me over the top: It was eloquent and moving. I enjoyed the rest of it, but it just confirmed my worst opinions about the state of education in this country. And it isn't necessarily that our educational system is broken; it's that as a species we can't seem to shake our medieval superstitions, and our stupidly in many matters is willful, stubborn, and suicidal. It's easier to believe in ghosts and flying saucers than it is to exercise our brains and actually learn how the real world works.

A good book.

I've read one chapter in the book.  And I'm pleased with what I've read so far.  I'm looking forward to seeing what else is store with regards to this book.
