A Month of: Children’s Fiction – The Sheep-Pig

The Sheep-Pig

The Sheep-Pig by Dick King Smith is a sweet story about a pig who becomes a sheep-pig which unknowingly for him saves his bacon (literally). The story is well known and has been brought to the big screen in the film entitled Babe: The Sheep-Pig.

The story is lovely as is the message, asking nicely and treating others with respect to all work together to achieve a goal.

The story is also well written and a joy to read on your own or together with children and parents. A book suitable for all ages, especially for younger readers who will thoroughly enjoy doing the voices of the sheep characters.

Very good indeed.
