But not Mr. and Mrs. Watson, who think the title of the film\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis 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.\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 07\/14\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763636449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Buckeye Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Cybils - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2010 pg. 58 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e131446 \/ Mercy Watson: Something Wonky This Way Comes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.2 \/ \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":36642117419164,"sku":"9780763636449","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_24a8664b-8361-409b-9e3e-f27437d61689.jpg?v=1603854465","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mercy-watson-something-wonky-this-way-comes-9780763636449","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
