Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I love the Mercy Watson books, and so do my kids. Genuinely funny for the whole family. And the illustrations are top notch. This book isn't in the main series; it's a prequel. It's adorable and funny. I really appreciate that it's a full size picture book so we can really enjoy the illustrations.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. My daughters love this book. The little pig definitely catches little ones attention. We all enjoy the illustrations, which are extremely cute and colorful. This is a great addition to any children's library. Mr. and Mrs. Watson live a very ordinary, quiet life. Some might even say boring. But all that begins to change when a tiny piglet shows up on their doorstep and wiggles her way into their hearts. A Piglet Named Mercy is, to my understanding, a picture-book prequel to DiCamillo’s Mercy Watson series (which I believe are written for a slightly older demographic, although I haven’t read them yet). As such, a certain amount of the story’s appeal is directly linked to its relation to the other books–which, again, I haven’t read. So do please take that bias into consideration while reading this review. The story itself is cute, although extremely simple. I honestly expect more from DiCamillo’s writing, though, even just for a picture book. She typically makes so much magic, regardless of the story or the reading level. Still, though, a cute story about a lonely couple, a couple nosy neighbors, and an adorably spunky piglet. I would expect this to be popular with preschoolers, perhaps even into kindergarten or first grade. And yes, it’s a nice set-up that leaves the reader expecting great things of the actual series; we’ll see how well those expectations are fulfilled. The other aspect of this book that I haven’t really addressed yet–but which plays a significant role, since this is a picture book–is the art. I don’t love it. Yes, it has a fitting country-kitchen sort of feel that works with the story . . . but the edges are too sharp, the colors too brash, the facial expressions too odd. It just doesn’t work for me. Yet for all the negatives mentioned above, I do still rate this a 3/5 (which is a positive rating for me); the story is sweet and funny enough that I would recommend it for younger readers. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
