Babe the Gallant Pig

Author: King-Smith, Dick

Knopf is proud to present a handsome 20th-anniversary edition of Dick King-Smith’s bestselling novel that became an Academy Award–nominated movie. When Babe arrives at Hogget Farm, Mrs. Hogget’s thoughts turn to sizzling bacon and juicy pork chops—until he reveals a surprising talent for sheepherding, that is. Before long, Babe is handling Farmer Hogget’s flock better than any sheepdog ever could. Babe is so good, in fact, that the farmer enters him into the Grand Challenge Sheepdog Trials. Will it take a miracle for Babe to win?

Complete with the original text and stunningly reillustrated by acclaimed artist Maggie Kneen, this anniversary edition of Babe is perfect to introduce a new generation of readers to the magical story of a pig like no other.

Three Pigs

Author: Weisner, David

This Caldecott Medal-winning picture book begins placidly (and familiarly) enough, with three pigs collecting materials and going off to build houses of straw, sticks, and bricks. But the wolf’s huffing and puffing blows the first pig right out of the story . . . and into the realm of pure imagination. The transition signals the start of a freewheeling adventure with characteristic David Wiesner effects—cinematic flow, astonishing shifts of perspective, and sly humor, as well as episodes of flight.
Satisfying both as a story and as an exploration of the nature of story, The Three Pigs takes visual narrative to a new level. Dialogue balloons, text excerpts, and a wide variety of illustration styles guide the reader through a dazzling fantasy universe to the surprising and happy ending. Fans of Tuesday’s frogs and Sector 7’s clouds will be captivated by old friends—the Three Pigs of nursery fame and their companions—in a new guise.

Adventures With Arnold Lobel

Author: Lobel, ArnoldPart of a Series: I Can Read

There was no one better at writing books for beginning readers than Arnold Lobel! For over twenty-five years he has made children laugh with his stories about frogs, pigs, mice, elephants, and almost every other animal imaginable. Now, for the first time, three of his very best I Can Read Books are together in one volume.
Small Pig runs away from his farm because it is too neat and shiny. He wants lots of good, sticky mud. He tries a swamp, a junkyard, and a big city, without any luck. Where can he find what he is looking for?

When seven mouse boys are tucked into bed, they ask their papa for a story. He does better than that – he tells them seven Mouse Tales, one for each of them to fall asleep to.

When Mother and Father Elephant are lost at sea, their elephant son is left all alone. But not for long. Uncle Elephant comes to the rescue – full of wrinkles, stories, and just the right song for any occasion.

Caldecott Medal winner Arnold Lobel is at his very best in this collection of funny and gentle stories perfect for any child just learning to read.
