Babe: The Gallant Pig Hardcover - 2005

by Dick King-Smith; Maggie Kneen (Illustrator)


From the publisher

Knopf is proud to present a handsome 20th-anniversary edition of Dick King-Smith's bestselling novel that became an Academy Award-nominated movie. When Babe arrives at Hogget Farm, Mrs. Hogget's thoughts turn to sizzling bacon and juicy pork chops--until he reveals a surprising talent for sheepherding, that is. Before long, Babe is handling Farmer Hogget's flock better than any sheepdog ever could. Babe is so good, in fact, that the farmer enters him into the Grand Challenge Sheepdog Trials. Will it take a miracle for Babe to win?
Complete with the original text and stunningly reillustrated by acclaimed artist Maggie Kneen, this anniversary edition of "Babe" is perfect to introduce a new generation of readers to the magical story of a pig like no other.

First line

"What's the noise?" said Mrs. Hogget, sticking her comfortable round red face out of the kitchen window.
