The neighbors squabble and chase while the Watsons are holding on to the bed with everything they've got and quite happily all the loose ends are tied up neatly and then buttered and served up to a very heroic porcine wonder. The charm of this book lies in the utter bliss that Mercy experiences in just about everything-especially the things that have to do with stacks of buttered toast. Mercy's search takes her to the neighbors house where they mistake her for a monster and call the fire department for assistance. Mercy wakes up thinking about toast and decides to go look for some leaving the Watsons hanging on to their bed for dear life. The floor under the bed is cracking and the bed is starting to fall. They are all tucked nicely under the covers dreaming good dreams when suddenly there is a loud noise. Mercy is not happy and she gets out of her bed and goes in to sleep with Mr.

On this night the door to Mercy's room has closed and it is dark all around her. They love her dearly and every night they tuck her into bed and sing her to sleep.
