Among his well-loved books is Babe, The Gallant Pig, which was recently made into a major motion picture, and was nominated for an Academy Award.
The Hodgeheg first published in 1987 is still a children's story that is regularly used and read by children both in and outside the classroom. It is read both for pleasure and as a tool for learning in literacy. This is a good story of road safety and overcoming obstacles, which I used with year 3 which they enjoyed and were able to access easily as a class with it being read to them. I think this would be suitable for either year 3 or 4 and could also be used for independent reading and curriculum support in PSHE for things such as road safety and overcoming obstacles.

This resource aimed at year 2 focuses on adding in adjectives to complete the sentences within the passage. This is a delightful story for children written by the author of the Sheep-Pig, (Babe). Victor Maximilian St George is a legend amongst hedgehogs. For it was the young, adventurous and bright Max who set out on his adventures to discover a safe way for hedgehogs to cross the road safely.Education Shed Ltd, Severn House, Severn Bridge, Riverside North, Bewdley, Worcestershire, UK, DY12 1AB
There are some nice little realistic details, like the description of the difference between a juvenile and an adult hedgehog, and how noisy young hedgehogs are (it really is true). The illustrations are sweet, too.
