I thought this book gave a cute way to show time or more of the lack of time in a day. At the end of the story it opened up discussion with the question, "How did the Pigs Run Out of Time?" and then it gave the answer in detail on how long all the activities took throughout the pigs day. Then to follow it offered the description of different time facts such as minute, hour, and day. This book was a little confusing to my students but I was able to better explain the concept of time after our discussion questions. ( )

Extra star for math integration: telling time. The Pig family heads to the beach. From getting ready, to the drive there, to waiting in line for food, we calculate the minutes ticking by. At the end problems to solve encourage another close read.

Great story involving time. The Pig family decide to go to the beach and then the book talks about how long it took to get to the beach and why it took so long. By the time the Pigs are ready to swim the beach closes. ( )

this is a great book for keeping time and telling time. ( )

The abstract concept of time is made delightfully fun here as the Pig family races the clock to get to the beach.
