THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING near my home!

Reading about Babe helped me to choose to become a vegetarian. 💚

Libby1 @CarolynM , @rubyslippersreads , @jbhops , @LeahBergen , @mabell , @AlaMich - I‘m definitely going to go see this! I‘m originally from Chicago, and we had no sheep there. Because I love sheep and dogs AND Babe I think it will be a real treat. 6y

What an adorable book about how politeness is one of our most important resources! By being kind & polite to the sheep on his farm, Babe becomes ther perfect sheep-pig! A great read for all ages. "That'll do, Pig. That'll do." ?

Libby1 I ADORE this book and movie! It urged me to become a vegetarian 17 years ago and I haven't looked back. ❤️ 7y
IamIamIam @Libby1 I can totally see why! Babe is the cutest! I had seen the film plenty of times but I couldn't pass up the book when I saw it! 🐽 7y
