'As utterly charming as Charlotte's Web, this book is bound to pluck even the tightest heartstrings.'
Amazon.com

One of Dick King-Smith's most famous tales, The Sheep-Pig, shot to further fame with the 1995 blockbuster film adaptation, Babe.

When Babe, the little orphaned piglet, is won at a fair by Farmer Hogget, he is adopted by Fly, the kind-hearted sheep-dog. Babe is determined to learn everything he can from Fly. He knows he can't be a sheep-dog. But maybe, just maybe, he might be a sheep-pig.

'An unexpectedly thrilling, funny charmer of a book.'
