Recently I have been reading the
cutest early chapter books with my tutor girls. I also personally just love
them and today got the last one that I needed to have the whole series. The
series is called Mercy Watson by Kate Dicamillo. Mercy Watson is a pig. Mercy
Watson is a very very fun pig. Each book follow the buttery toast loving pig
around on some waky adventures. The
books are beautifully illustrated and writen in a way that is funny for all who
reads it.

I read these stories with my high level kindergarteners and my first graders. The kids just love them. They are always waiting to hear more crazy stories about the pig and the wild things that she will do to get butter! If in the future I have the privilage to teach kindergarten or first grade I will be using these as read alouds. They are the perfect link to read and finish the whole 6 book series by the end of the school year.

| Seriously, is that not the cutest, most happy pig that you have ever seen? |
I am slowly working through each book
to create a comprehension pack. I am thinking that this may be a good time to
start getting into Teacher Pay Teachers. Do you all think that’s a good idea? I
would love to hear what you think or if you think It my be best to just post
the questions on here let me know.
Another thing that I do really love
about Kate is that she is passionate!! She is passionate about what she writes
and she is also very passionate about her readers. She is an author that is
easy to love and admire. She has a special web page for the Mercy books with
all sorts of fun to enjoy.
Happy reading guys! Do you all have
any fun summer read you are looking forward to? Are you doing a summer reading
program at your library? Let me know I would love to hear what you all are up
to.
Happy Reading!
Ms. Cara
