"We loved it. I could've done without the part about the pig drinking beer, I edited it to cider. Dick King-Smith is proving to be right up there with Roald Dahl with my boys. They love his stories!"

    " Wouldn't read this at the school because of the beer references, but I enjoyed it almost as much as 'Babe'. "

    " Just another enjoyable animal fantasy from the master. This one really didn't have much beyond superficial characters and a series of adventures, but it was fun. King-Smith is reliable for giving us nice fun. "

    " CuteFun book for ages 6-7 as a read-aloud, ages 7-9 for independent reading. Ace, the pig of the title, is the Great-Grandson of Dick King-Smith's other notable pig, Babe. Even Farmer Hogget gets a mention. And here is where I edited out the swine fluH1N1 joke. "
