Babe
The Gallant Pig
by Dick King-Smith
Review this book!
Defying all stereotypes, Babe is a hardworking, clean, fit, polite, and friendly young pig who lives on the farm run by Mr. and Mrs. Hogget. Although the Hoggets originally viewed Babe as a Christmas dinner, his winning personality, and his ability to get along with all the other animals on the farm, soon transforms him from potential meal to beloved pet. Babe's stock on the farm is raised even higher when following the example of his adoptive mother, a boarder collie, he sets out to become a sheep dog, or rather, a sheep pig. Impressed by Babe's skill, Farmer Hogget trains him to compete in the Grand Challenge Sheep Dog Trials. Inspired by the author's own experiences as an English farmer, this chapter book is illustrated with B&W drawings. BABE THE GALLANT PIG was made into a film called BABE, which was a 1995 Academy Award nominee for Best Picture.

First Line
"What's that noise?" said Mrs. Hogget, sticking her comfortable round face out of the kitchen window. "Listen, there 'tis again, did you hear it, what a racket, what a row, anybody'd think someone was being murdered, oh dearie me, whatever it is, just listen to it, will you?"
