Synopsis
Daggie Dogfoot, the runt of the litter, is in danger. The pigman, who takes all runts from their pens, is coming for him! But Daggie is a pig of remarkable qualities, and he's not about to let the Pigman get him. Instead, he runs away and decides to learn how to fly. But when he tries leaping off a cliff, he discovers another talent— a talent he'll need to save the entire farm
Children's Literature
Here, in the brisk prose we have come to expect from King-Smith, is a whole barnyard world-the Squire, whose back gets scratched by the Pigman; the Pigman, whose club is ever at the ready for the little dog; the little dog, surrounded by a society of squealing, squalling sows; the little dog with the funny feet, who is the real hero of this tale. A rollicking story that will leave readers convinced that pigs might indeed fly. And "Dratyer! Dangyer! and Blastyer!" if yer don't believe it.
