FUN, FUN!! I read this out loud to my 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter - and we all loved it! As darling as the movie - which I've seen, but they haven't . My daughter was literally jumping with excitement while Babe performed at the sheep dog (pig) trials - very engaging for her. Fun to read aloud - the wife has crazy run-on sentences that made my kids laugh hysterically.

It is almost fact that the book is always better than the movie, but to be honest I found myself disappointed with the original. Still a darling story but the characters were not as developed (and some were missing like Ferdinand!). It is a quick read so you can read the story and watch the movie in the same day and make your own comparison.

The book is as much cuteness overdose as the film Babe based on it ^_^

I read this book with my kids as part of a homeschool curriculum. They're in 4th grade, and this book seemed a little simple for them, but they enjoyed it. It is very British, and uses words not common in American English, as well as the casual use of "bitch" as in "female dog" (not something you'd find in an American children's book!). Still, it was a sweet story, and I'm glad we read it. Maybe we'll have to check out the movie . . .
