A modern classic , this award-winning book was made into the film 'Babe'.
It's a farmyard adventure with lots of clever talking animals. A little orphaned piglet and a kind sheep dog are the real stars.
The author was a farmer for 20 years and pigs are his favourite famyard animals - I wonder if he had talking animals on his farm?
He's written lots of great children's books, including 'The Queen's Nose' another award winning and funny book.
