Kindergarten-Grade 5-Babe fans will enjoy this collection of short stories and excerpts from novels. Eight episodes center on a variety of creatures in addition to the now-famous pig. All of the selections stand alone and are rich with King-Smith's characteristic tongue-in-cheek humor. Babe finds his place within a farm family when he courageously saves the sheep herd from rustlers Ernest, hardly a show dog, wins a competition by being the most lovable pooch in the contest Hedley the mouse overcomes danger in order to bring his family food and Woolly the mammoth helps a cave family discover food, fire, and cooking. The traits of loyalty, courage, and love displayed by all of the main characters create a cohesive anthology. Terry's expressive, colorful, full- and half-page illustrations complement the warmth of the text. This title is suitable as a read-aloud for young children and as an enjoyable read-alone for older patrons. A definite purchase for King-Smith fans and collections in need of short stories.
