'The Sheep-Pig' by Dick King-Smith is an absolute classic written several years ago but is still a captivating book to read. It is about a pig who is adopted by a sheep dog called Fly who looks after him and tries to teach him how to round up sheep. In unusual circumstances, Babe learns that sheep aren't as stupid as he had been taught and could successfully round up sheep by asking them politely. The sheep-pig went to a sheep dog contest and scores full marks. This children's novel has been turned into a movie also called 'Babe' which was a huge success. This novel would be directed at young children, possibly year 3.
