My class had no interest in this book and neither did I to be honest.
Read as part of the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge.The charming tale that captured originally captured my imagination as a child due to the movie adaptation, its the heart warming story of a young pig on a sheep farm.Being brought up by Fly a sheepdog, young babe aspires to follow in the dogs footsteps by becoming a sheep-pig.I liked how the movie stayed really faithful to the book, it really is a timeless classic.
