Illustrated by
Sharon McGinley-Nally.
After missing their flight on Christmas Eve, the Pig family hops aboard a delivery plane--piloted by Santa--which lands in cities in three time zones before arriving in "Beantown." City nicknames may be unfamiliar to young readers, and while a final paragraph clearly describes time zones, equations with distance, time, and rate of speed are left unexplained. Festive illustrations capture the Pigs' latest over-the-top antics.
