Mercy Watson: Princess in Disguise

It's Halloween time, and Mrs. Watson persuades Mercy to dress up as a princess so she can receive treats from the neighbors. They stop first at the Lincoln sisters next door, where Mercy gets into trouble by eating too much candy and chasing General Washington (the sister's cat), who escapes by climbing up a tree. The fire department is called to rescue General Washington, and everyone shares Mercy's favorite treat; toast with lots of butter. Written by Kate DiCamillo and illustrated by Chris Van Dusen, this is another fun adventure for Mercy and for young readers.
