One day, Farmer Hogget wins a young pig. He likes the pig, but he is a sheep farmer not a pig farmer. Mrs Hogget wants the pig for the dinner table. The little pig has other ideas, and he’s a very clever pig...

Flightless, helpless and often, frankly, more than a little silly, chickens are no match for the cunning, merciless foxes stalking their coop. Or are they? Thanks to a careless farmer and generations of determined foxes, the chickens on Foxearth Farm have evolved into quick-witted, long-legged, high flying fox dodgers. Then, just a week after a vicious fox ambush in the water trough, three sisters are hatched. And Ransome, Sims and Jefferies are no ordinary chicks: they grow up determined to fight back. They are the legendary Fox Busters.

Farmer Hogget's old sheepdog, Fly, adopts a piglet she names Babe and is astonished at how quickly he learns all she has to teach him. But plucky little Babe has even more surprises in store — and the farm will never be the same again.
