2019 Reading Challenge Reviews: Books 40 & 41

Here are my book reviews for my 40th and 41st book of 2019: Book 40: Babe: The Gallant Pig by Dick King-Smith I gave this book 3/5 stars on Goodreads. The prompt I chose for this was "A book you see someone reading on tv or in a movie." (This was on the Rory Gilmore reading list). Farmer Hogget wins Babe the piglet at a fair, and takes him home planning to one day have him for dinner. However, Babe gets adopted by a sheepdog named Fly and learns to herd sheep as well. Over the course of the book, Babe teaches readers and Fly alike not to judge a book by its cover, and that sometimes being polite gets you a lot farther than trying to force people to listen to you. I thought this was a cute, easy read, and could be fun to read with kids ...
