This is probably one of the best books, I have ever read. Eventhough this story is impossible, Dick King Smith brings the story to life by his wonderful character descriptions and vocabulary.

Dick writes mostly about animals: farmyard fantasy, as he likes to call it, often about pigs, his special favorites!

Dick has won many awards including The Guardian Fiction Award 1984 for The Sheep Pig, the Children’s Author of The Year 1992 and The Children’s Book Award 1995 for Harriet The Hare.
