【内容简介】
It’s the best thing since buttered toast — Mercy Watson in paperback!
Mercy loves nothing more than a ride in the convertible, with the wind tickling her ears and the sun on her snout. But one day the Watsons’ elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some “folly and adventure” — and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! 《小猪梅西飞车》内容简介:又到了星期六!沃森先生像往常一样,开着粉色的敞篷车带上小猪梅西出去兜风。梅西觉得光坐车不过瘾,她想要开车!机会终于来了!梅西一屁股坐上了驾驶座,车子开得飞快。小猪飞车会有什么后果呢?车子是谁停下来的呢?
【作者简介】
Kate DiCamillo is the author of THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX, which received the Newbery Medal; BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor; and THE TIGER RISING, which was named a National Book Award Finalist. She says, "Mercy Watson had been in my head for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to tell her story. One day, my friend Alison was going on and on and on about the many virtues of toast. As I listened to her, I could see Mercy nodding in emphatic agreement. Sometimes you don't truly understand a character until you know what she loves above all else."
Chris Van Dusen is the author-illustrator of DOWN TO THE SEA WITH MR. MAGEE, A CAMPING SPREE WITH MR. MAGEE, and IF I BUILT A CAR. He says, "When I first read Mercy Watson to the Rescue, the characters were very vivid in my mind, and they just came to life when I started painting. This is exactly the type of story I love to illustrate – a wonderfully silly adventure with lots of action." This is his first book with Candlewick Press. 凯特·迪卡米洛,生于美国宾夕法尼亚州,在佛罗里达州长大。大学时代主修英美文学,并从事成人短篇小说的创作,曾经获得1998年迈克奈特基金会的作家奖助金。她的第一本儿童小说《傻狗温迪克》刚一问世就广受好评,并夺得了2001年纽伯瑞儿童文学奖银奖。 凯特笔下的人物都显得十分真实。她说,她并没有塑造这些人物,而是专心聆听这些人对她说什么,然后把他们说的东西转述出来。她不喜欢刻意介入或扭转故事的发展,也不特意挑选故事的题材或背景,一切都是自然而然流露出来的。
