It was a good book it shows you don't just have to be the same as everyone else and you can do whatever you want to. I would recommend this book to people who like farmyard animals and competitions.

In this book, there is a pig named Babe. he is brought to the fair to the game: guess the weight. farmer Hogget enters the 10-pence coin and guesses the weight. after a few hours, it is announced that farmer Hogget has won. then Babe goes to the farm to meet Fly. A sheepdog with 4 pups. then Babe asks if she also could be a sheep pig!

My favourite character would probably be fly the sheepdog since was very kind to babe even though her first impression was was pigs are stupid.I wish it had better vocabulary. Still the book was great and I really enjoyed it.

i liked babe and Ma. I didn't like it when Farmer Hogget thought Babe killed Ma when it was two dogs and Farmer Hogget was going to kill Babe with a gun. I liked it when Babe could run really fast and he was helpful.

I liked Fly the best because I like dogs.

I liked the book, I read it and later watched the movie version but the story of the book was actually better. I liked the picture of shocked Mrs Hoggett.

I thought Sheep Pig was good because I was amazed that “Babe” could round up sheep but I was sad that Maa the sheep died. I recommend this book to my friends because I think they will like it.
