Kate DiCamillo: A Very Mercy Christmas, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"For both newcomers and fans of Mercy Watson and the characters of Deckawoo Drive alike, this Christmas tale is sure to put a smile on your kid's face. . . . With fun, colorful illustrations, it's a celebration of the small miracles the holidays bring." ---Romper
Mercy ornament included!

Stella Endicott felt joyful. She felt like something miraculous might happen. She wanted to sing.

When Stella gets the sudden idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. Her brother, Frank, is not good at spontaneity. The Watsons are very involved in a precarious fruitcake attempt (but happy to send their pig, Mercy, out for the occasion). Eugenia Lincoln declines, a bit rudely, to accompany on her accordion, and Horace Broom is too busy studying planetary movement. Will Stella need to sing by herself---with enthusiastic contributions from the pig, the cat, and the horse she picks up on the way? Or does the evening hold a miracle Stella hadn't expected? With tender affection for Mercy Watson and all her Deckawoo Drive friends, Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen offer a picture-book homage to the season that is perfectly suited for family sharing---perhaps with some cups of hot cocoa and a stack of well-buttered toast.
