A simple tale about how a quiet farmer and his chatty wife come to own a runt pig, "Babe: The Gallant Pig", brims with life and humor. Babe’s kind-hearted ways make him a natural when it comes to herding sheep. Dick King-Smith writes with such authority about pastoral life and the animals that populate the book, they become as alive as the humans in the story. His characters are painted with such loving strokes that readers will be like the sheep farmer Hogget tends and wanting more "B-a-a-a-abe!"
