From School Library Journal:
Grade 1-2?Children who exercised their math skills with the effervescent porcine family in Axelrod's Pigs Will Be Pigs (S & S, 1994) can pick up more practice adding, subtracting, and telling time as the portly clan visits the beach. The piglets are ready to go in no time, but the minutes march past as Mr. Pig tries to find a swimsuit that still fits (45 minutes), hunts for car keys (1 hour), gets a speeding ticket (13 minutes), stands in line at the concession stand (60 minutes), and insists they wait for lunch to digest (30 minutes, plus 20 more for the lemonade and brownies). At last it's "Time to ride the waves!" But no, it's 5:30, and the beach is closing. Animal characters in colorful summer dress cavort cheerfully through simple cartoon illustrations. The Pigs' misadventure gets a recap in rebuses at the end, and an afterword poses a few word problems and a discussion of clock face features and digital equivalents. This painless lesson makes a good follow-up to books like Bruce McMillan's Time to... (Lothrop, 1989; o.p.).?John Peters, New York Public Library

From Booklist:
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Ages 5^-8. Time, a difficult and abstract concept, is made delightful fun here as the Pig family races the clock to get to the beach. It's only 11:30 a.m. when Mr. Pig suggests they leave, but one thing after another delays them, and just as they are about to ride the waves, the beach closes. Older, patient readers should be able to keep track of the time slipping away; younger ones may lack the necessary reading and math skills to follow the time sequence. The illustrations provide visual cues, with clocks and watches appearing in most of the brightly colored, silly pictures, and a summary page at the end of the book will be helpful. A lively way to integrate math and language arts into a whole-language curriculum. Lauren Peterson
