  • I love that i don't have to think up the comprehension questions for each chapter! I have started it with my mixed age ELL group and so far so good. It's great to have several choices of activities for each chapter rather than doing the same thing every day. Great, thoughtful resource.

Babe is taken to the Sheepdog Trials, where he astonishes the judges and spectators by excelling at herding the sheep.
