Dick King-Smith

In year 3 we have been learning about the author Dick King Smith.  Some of his books are called The Fox Busters, Horse Pie, Billy the Bird, All because of Jackson and possibly his most famous, The Sheep Pig, which was made into the movie Babe. He was born on 27 March 1922 and   died on 4 January, 2011.  His first book was The Fox Busters, published in 1978.  He was a teacher and a farmer, and his favourite animals were pigs.  We have many of his books in our class and school libraries, and we recommend you choose one to read.  They are funny, sad, entertaining and enjoyable!
