Mercy Watson Fights Crime

(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Chris Van Dusen. In her second and third adventures, Mercy, the buttered-toast-loving "porcine wonder" and almost-human pet of the Watson family, unexpectedly foils a robber (Crime)and drives a pink Cadillac (Ride). The bright, cheery gouache paintings, with their caricatures of the shiny, chubby Watsons and the thin Lincoln sisters, winkingly portray a sunny world of suburbia. Review covers these titles: Mercy Watson Fights Crime and Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride.
