This junior novelization of the popular movie continues the saga of Babe, the pig. There's a lot of action, although I can't say that the story makes much sense.
interesting quote:
"And never listen to the delirious drivel of a demented duck." (p. 11)

-Q1.What animals were friends of clever little pig?
Q2.How did the policeman do all the animals outside the hotel?
When I was little child, I have watched this movie in Japanese. Pig's image was fat and bad smelling, however it was changed by this story. This clever little pig,Babe was very active and smart pig. He could have great experiences in the city. I thought that many animals were also clever in this story. And this book was for elemental, so I could understand to read clearly.
