The story is about a farmer who wins a pig from a nearby fair and the pig lives with all the sheepdogs and he wants to be one. He rounded up the sheep because he was their friends and they did what he asked them to. It is a good book

The sheep pig is a story about a pig named Babe that wants to be a sheep dog though it's a pig so instead it becomes a sheep pig. In the end Babe goes to a competition and is better than all the dogs getting 100/100 the closest being 85/100. Babe also saved sheep from being stolen and saved them from being eaten by dogs which wouldn't of been nice.

It was interesting to think that Pigs and Sheep might be able to talk but humans can't hear them. There were different feelings happy and sad, and it was interesting. I really like Fly she is my favourite character.

I think they should read this book because it is very funny when Babe wanted to be a sheep pig because he got adopted by a female sheepdog ! It is adventurous and I would definitely love to read it again
