Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride

I recommend this funny chapter book by Kate DiCamillo about a mischievous pig called Mercy Watson. Every Saturday Mrs. Watson cooks a delicious meal for Mercy, Mr. Watson and her. After eating lunch, Mr. Watson goes for a ride in his luxurious pink convertible car with Mercy. Mercy has this bad habit on seating in the driver's seat and Mr. Watson always calls for help so Mrs. Watson can come to the rescue to convince Mercy to move. Mrs. Watson persuaded Mercy by telling her that she will get extra hot buttered toast when she comes from her ride with Mr. Watson. Something unexpectedly happens that Mercy drives Mr. Watson car and the adventure begings for Mr. Watson and his pig Mercy. Children will love and have fun reading this book. At the end of the story, children will learn an important lesson. The lesson is to always use your seatbelt when your ride in a car because you never know what could happen. The pictures are very colorful and depicts the content of the story.

My family is forever *

This lovely picture book by Nancy Carlson is about a Korean girl who is adopted. This girl explains the different ways that a child could be like or look like his or her parents and about the types of family that exist. This girl does not look physically like her parents but she has the same talents as them. She is a good dancer as her mother and a good chef as her father. This book would be helpful to teach children that children are different from their parents. Children could be like their parents physically, emotionally and having the same talents. A great book for teachers to talk about adoption.
