Overview"DiCamillo's comic timing coupled with Van Dusen's over-the-top depictions of Mercy and her parents make this a welcome addition to the popular series. Kirkus Reviews Eugenia and Baby Lincoln may live next door to a pig, but that doesn t stop them from living a gracious life. And Mercy Watson is equally determined to follow the delightful scent (and delicious taste) of the pansies her neighbors are planting to beautify their yard. ""Where have all the flowers gone?"" shouts Eugenia, who is finally ready to take extreme measures and dial Animal Control! Has Mercy s swine song come at last? Or will her well-pampered instincts keep her in buttered toast?"
