The beguiling porcine wonder turns bucking bronco to snare a robber in this hilarious new addition to the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling series.
Leroy Ninker is a small man with a big dream: he wants to be a cowboy, but for now he's just a thief. In fact, Leroy is robbing the Watsons' kitchen right this minute! As he drags the toaster across the counter — screeeeeech — and drops it into his bag — clannngggg — little does he know that a certain large pig who loves toast with a great deal of butter is stirring from sleep. Even less could he guess that comedy of errors (not to mention the buttery sweets in his pocket) will soon lead this little man on the wild and raucous rodeo ride he's always dreamed of! Nosy neighbors, astonished firemen, a puzzled policeman, and the ever-doting Watsons return for a new tongue-in-snout adventure about Kate DiCamillo's delightfully single-minded pig.

Mercy Watson gets up at night when she hears a noise. She goes to get toast, when instead she finds a thief. The thief is robbing the Watsons' kitchen. The thief is called Leroy Ninker, and he wants to be a cowboy. He ends up riding Mercy, and the noise wakes up the neighbors. They call for help, and Mercy is a hero once again. Overall, I think this book was hilarious, and I liked the illustrations. I recommend this book to people who enjoy other books written by this author. I rate this 5/5.
I am so glad that Mercy Watson was able to stop the criminal from robbing her house. She is very sneaky, but a smart pig.
she's super sneak!!!!
