<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess costume for Halloween--complete with a tiara--hilarity ensues. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The porcine wonder is off to the drive-in -- and driven to follow that buttery smell -- in a comic crescendo that reunites a familiar cast of characters.</b> <p/>Some may find it wonky to take a pig to the movies. But not Mr. and Mrs. Watson, who think the title of the film<i> </i>is inspirational. And not their beloved Mercy, who is inspired by the fact that the drive-in proudly serves real butter on its Bottomless Bucket of popcorn. So when they pull up in their convertible, Mercy lifts her snout and becomes a pig on a mission - for what is more heavenly than being hot on the trail of a true butter smell? Masterful slapstick director Kate DiCamillo sends Mercy on a delirious chase, followed by a trail of hapless rescuers that fans will recognize from prior episodes. And Chris Van Dusen's comic retro illustrations perfectly capture a nostalgic pastime - along with the newest antics of a charmingly single-minded pig.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kate DiCamillo</b> is the author of the first five stories starring Mercy Watson.
