In this installment of DiCamillo's series, it is Halloween on Deckawoo Drive, and the Watsons dress Mercy up as a princess so she can go trick-or-treating. But when they knock on the Lincoln sisters' door, and their cat George Washington tempts Mercy into a game of chase, chaos erupts and local firemen Lorenzo and Ned (once again) get involved... Every bit as amusing as it predecessors, Mercy Watson: Princess in Disguise combines the hilarious hi-jinks and vibrantly colorful artwork that have made this series such a success. Readers familiar with earlier volumes will recognize the secondary cast, from the elderly Lincoln sisters to the firefighters who seem to respond to emergencies on Deckawood Drive fairly regularly. I found it hilarious that the firefighters now know that this street has a troublesome pig living on it. Recommended to young readers just getting going with chapter-books, who are looking for humorous stories with a quirky sense of fun. Part of the Mercy Watson series. Mrs. and Mrs. Watson think their darling spoiled pet pig Mercy should be a “porcine princess” this Halloween. Mercy disagrees, and dons her pink tutu and tiara only when she is promised treats from everyone in the neighborhood. On Halloween night, hilarity ensues as Mercy chases the neighbor’s cat General Washington up a tree, ending in a call the fire department and piles of buttered toast which make up for Mercy’s uncomfortable dress. Chris Van Dusen’s richly-colored and expressive artwork is interspersed throughout, adding loads of personality and excitement to Mercy’s escapades. The illustrations also compliment the text well and help communicate the plot and mood of the characters to new readers without being distracting. Mercy’s infectious energy will appeal to a wide audience but will particularly delight animal lovers. Recommended. Ages 6-8. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
