Book Reviews of Babe: The Gallant Pig
Book Review: Cautious 5 star
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is wonderful for second or third graders (the movie is also one of my favorites) but I offer one word of caution - a female dog is a bitch, and King-Smith uses "bitch" three or four times in the book. For American non-farm families, that is generally a Forbidden Word.
Babe is cheerful and sunny, Fly is gentle and trustworthy, Mrs. Hoggett is chattering and good-natured, Farmer Hoggett is patient and honest - there are great role models all through this book. And good manners wins the day.
