It takes a fair amount of nudging and bribing and a \"You are such a good sport, darling\" to get the portly pig out of the driver's seat, but once the convertible is on the road, Mercy loves the feel of the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout. One day the Watsons' motoring ritual takes an unexpected turn, however, when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some \"folly and adventure\" - and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel  Soon there's a policeman on her tail, a struggle for the brake, and a blissfully airborne Mercy. Of course, it's nothing that an extra helping of buttered toast can't fix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763623326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.42h x 6.64w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Flicker Tale Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Delaware Diamonds Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Geisel Medal (Dr. Seuss) - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2006 pg. 516\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2006 pg. 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2006 pg. 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 55 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e106376 \/ Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kate DiCamillo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45187195207861,"sku":"9780763623326","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3a574e13-7cfe-464a-9f82-7b967e064e21.jpg?v=1742271410","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mercy-watson-goes-for-a-ride-9780763623326","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
