text Õ The Sheep Pig Ö Dick King-Smith
When Babe the little orphaned piglet is won at a fair by Farmer Hogget he is adopted by Fly the Read as part of the ‘Rory Gil Reading Challenge’The charming tale that captured originally captured my imagination as a child due to the movie adaptation it’s the heart warming story of a young pig on a sheep farmBeing brought up by Fly a sheepdog young babe aspires to follow in the dogs footsteps by becoming a sheep pigI liked how the movie stayed really faithful to the book it really is a timeless classic

The Sheep PigBe a sheep dog But maybe just maybe he might be a sheep pigListening Length 1 hour and 51 minute Ok despite that one absolutely AWFUL scene this book is a solid 5 out of 5 stars I love Babe I love all of the animals and I LOVE that by being polite and friendly Babe was able to succeed in his chosen path He couldn’t do the job the way the dogs could he was too different some would say it was a handicap but he not only found a way to do the job but to flourish in it He helped to alter the prejudiced views of his foster mother and on the humans who saw him work Just by being polite kind open to others and true to himself Important lesson for any era seems to be especially true for the current time I loved this book so much That one horrible scene makes sense but SHUDDER It was scary There is some animal on animal violence in this book and a scene with a gun as a tool not a weapon per say I would agree with the 8 12 age range recommended on the back of the book5 HIGHLY recommended stars Important lessons on manners and respect
