Babe the Gallant Pig

Babe the Gallant Pig

by Dick King-Smith

Rating:  5 of 5 stars - It's hard to imagine a better book!

Summary: Babe the piglet and Farmer Hogget have a close relationship even though they have only known each other for about 20 minutes. Throughout the story you go on adventures, fights, bonds, happiness, amazement and sadness. Whoever likes animal bonds, classic stories and comparing books to movies would love to read this book. Don't miss out on a adventure of a lifetime!

Review: Babe the Gallant pig is a great book for whoever likes to hear about animals saving each other, animal bonds and happy endings. Some of the best parts are the sheep dog show, the ending, and the market day. What I liked about this book was that the author used so many interesting words. While you read this book you feel like you are inside the story watching everything that happens. I hope you can follow Babe throughout the story!
