The Guardian on Dick King-SmithBabe is a sensitive soul, deeply loyal to those who are kind to him. So when he is taken in by Farmer Hogget s sheepdog, Fly, it s only natural that he would want to follow in his foster mum s paw-steps. Even with Babe s considerable handicaps as a sheepdog--namely, that he s a pig--he manages to overcome all with his earnestly polite and soft-spoken ways, proving once again that might doesn t always make right. After saving the sheep from rustlers and wild dogs, Babe convinces Hogget that his idea of becoming a sheep-pig "b aint so stupid" as it might look. But neither Hogget nor Babe, nor anyone else, could have predicted what follows.
As utterly charming as Charlotte s Web, this book is bound to pluck even the tightest heartstrings. Masterful characterization brings every personality to vibrant life, while Mary Rayner s lively line illustrations only elucidate images Dick King-Smith has already planted in the reader s mind. Herd the whole farmyard together: readers of all ages, ambitions, and antecedents will love this one. --Emilie Coulter
