Mercy Watson books have been checked out of the Columbus Public Library and are now at home with my grandson Charlie, 3 1/2.
I’d never heard of the existence of Mercy Watson prior to last week’s Ohio visit. Charlie has always liked his soft pig toy and has a small pig on the kitchen counter where he eats lunch.
Mercy Watson is a pig. No, edit that statement
“Mercy Watson is a porcine wonder.” says Mr and Mrs. Watson
The author is Kate Di Camillo and illustrated by artist Chris Van Dusen
Seems that ‘buttered toast’ is a favorite of Mercy Watson.
Laura created a Mercy Watson breakfast for Charlie.
He was adjusting the mouth/cashew.
That is hand squeezed oj accompanying the toast. Mmmmm. 
I should have taken one more shot of the empty breakfast tray.

I will have to check out Mercy Watson for my younger grandkids! I love the toast pictures.
Looks like a fun AM at the Weaver’s household. Fresh OJ- does not get better than that.
I know DiCamillio’s stories for older kids and appreciate the heads up on Mercy Watson.
A great way to get children to eat their breakfast! I love these photos inspired by Mercy Watson, Ruth!
Now that I see the book cover, I recognize Mercy Watson. Kate is a Minnesota author.
What fun for Charlie.
I’m going to read some of her books now that I’ve been introduced. Watching my daughter be a good mom makes my heart full.
Looks like we both have ties to Kate DiCamillo! https://www.katedicamillo.com/about.html
