BR:1-11: Babe: Pig in the city

"Thia is a city. Nobody wins in the city. And nobody helps anybody. understand?" (p. 16)


 I like Babe!  I remember the excitement of reading the sheep-pig, the first book about Babe, for the first time and the excitement of the time when I found the next story of Babe at the library of the PUK! Babe leaves  the farm for the city. Farmer Hoggett needs some money and Mr, Hoggett's wife and the pig head for the city. There, Babe meets a lot of animals, for example, dogs , chimpanzees and an orang-utan. At first, the animals of the city are dry and cool to others, however, Babe's innocence and kindness change them. They and Babe become good friends, but Babe's kindness sometimes brings about danger  and troubles...
 At the same time, Mrs. Hoggett gets into a panic because her important pig disappears somewhere. She tries to find Babe, but...

I think Babe is great pig. He changes other animals' maid and even human's mind, for instant, the mind of Mrs. Hoggett. Mrs. Hoggett took Babe to the city for her money at first , but the story doesn't go as her will. At last, she and other human do their best for the animals. Human might try to treat animals at will, but animals can overturn it!! In this book, Babe and his friends do that! Therefore, I was exciting to this story.
I think we should also think about real animal's innocence when we enjoy this type of story.
