A lot goes on in the fifteen short chapters in this book. Eugenia Lincoln, Mercy's next door neighbor, is still unhappy to be living so close to a pig. So she decides to plant pansies to "live a gracious life." Well.......when Mercy discovers these delicious delicacies, she decides to eat them, one by one. Imagine Eugenia's horror!
Eugenia has had it. To her sister Baby's horror, she decides to call Animal Control. And we meet a new character - Animal Control Officer Francine Poulet, who sets out to find the pig. In the meantime, Mercy has gone to Stella and Frank's house for a tea party. Imagine her disdain when she discovers that tea parties have IMAGINARY food!
Packed with humor and some of the best illustrations ever, this fifth story in the Mercy Watson series is delightful. Fun. and very, very funny. A winner.
