SHEEP PIG
KING-SMITH, DICK
When Farmer Hogget wins a pig at the village fete he takes it home thinking mostly of bacon. But Babe soon shows that he is no ordinary pig. Adopted by the sheep dog Fly, Babe quickly picks up the necessary skills of a sheep dog and adds his own personal touch to the basic training. Babes delightful, entertaining and unusual ability at rounding up sheep not only saves his skin but also saves Farmer Hoggets sheep. It isnt long before Farmer Hogget realises that he has a very special pig on his hands and soon the two of them are on their way to fame and fortune. Released as the film Babe, The Sheep-Pig is a funny and touching story tinged with wonder.
