Review by Horn Book Review

In a British 'Charlotte's Web' (Harper), Babe the pig proves himself invaluable to Farmer Hogget when he learns to herd sheep, eventually distinguishing himself as a champion 'sheep-pig.' Babe wins over the sheep with his gracious manners; King-Smith and Rayner win over readers with a humorous, heartwarming story and engaging black-and-white drawings.
