The Sheep-Pig
by Dick King Smith

When Farmer Hogget wins a pig at the village fete he never thinks it will be more than bacon. But Babe is adopted by the sheep-dog Fly, and quickly picks up all the habits of a working dog - and some more of his own besides! Babe's skill at rounding up sheep saves his bacon and Farmer Hogget's sheep. It isn't long before Farmer Hogget realises that he has a very special pig on his hands. Soon, the two of them win competitions all over the country. Known also as the film Babe, The Sheep-Pig is a funny, tender and astonishing story. (8+)
