Bookroo's summary

Mercy the pig is coaxed into a princess costume with promises of Halloween treats. As she dreams of buttered toast, her trick-or-treating escapade spirals into a hilarious parade, led by a mischievous cat. Will Mercy's quest for treats end in triumph or turmoil? Join the Watsons and their neighbors for a night of unexpected twists and laughter.

From the publisher

Can visions of treats entice a porcine wonder to wear her princess costume? Hold on for some Halloween havoc, Mercy Watson-style!

When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween—complete with tiara—they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick-or-treating and can picture piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would lead them all on a Halloween “parade” of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.
