Product description

Babe is a chubby little piglet who dreams of herding sheep, just like a sheep-dog. All the other animals laugh at him. Can he find a way to make his dream come true? It all starts when orphan piglet Babe is won by Farmer Hoggett at a fair. Babe soon finds an adoptive mum – Fly, the farmyard sheep-dog. Inspired by Fly’s skill at herding sheep, Babe decides he wants to have a go. He knows he’ll never be a sheep-dog. But maybe, just maybe, he can be the world’s first sheep-pig…

  • Winner of the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize
  • The book that inspired the best-loved film Babe
  • An unforgettable story about reaching for dreams
  • Wonderful message of teamwork and politeness
