Synopsis
Ace is a pig who understands the human language and replies to Farmer Tubbs with one grunt for yes and two for no. Soon he is quite a house-pig enjoying TV and sitting in the farmer's chair. The author also wrote "Sheep-Pig", "The Fox Busters", "Dodos Are Forever" and "Saddlebottom".

About the Author
Dick King-Smith served in the Grenadier Guards during the Second World War, and afterwards spent twenty years as a farmer in Gloucestershire, the county of his birth. Many of his stories are inspired by his farming experiences. He wrote a great number of children's books, including The Sheep-Pig (winner of the Guardian Award and filmed as Babe), Harry's Mad, The Hodgeheg, Martin's Mice, The Invisible Dog, The Queen's Nose and The Crowstarver. At the British Book Awards in 1991 he was voted Children's Author of the Year. In 2009 he was made OBE for services to children's literature. Dick King-Smith died in 2011 at the age of eighty-eight.
