What is Ace about?

Ace is no ordinary pig. Marked with a curious shape on his side, he can understand every word spoken by humans, even if he can only answer with snorts, squeals and grunts. Farmer Tubbs soon realises that Ace is far too special for the market. With help from the farm animals, Ace finds his way into the farmhouse, discovers television and becomes a local celebrity. But can this remarkable pig enjoy fame without forgetting his friends or his peaceful life on the farm?
