If you’re trying to move a kid from picture books to chapter books, this series is the gold standard. It’s not 'brain rot' and it’s not homework; it’s just a very funny book about a very spoiled pig.
It’s 20 years old but feels timeless because buttered toast and car rides never go out of style. Mercy is a chaotic neutral icon who just wants what we all want: snacks and a breeze in our hair. Highly recommended for any home library.
