Customer Reviews

author Dick King Smith

Writes terrific stories about animals; for young readers but I've read them too. Dick King Smith wrote 'Babe' which was a marvellous movie about a sheep-pig. Recommend this author to anyone looking for good literature for children. Does not speak down to young readers.
