The Pigglytoes family has different ideas about what makes Christmas special, but baby piglet understands that it doesn't come wrapped in a box. A middle-class, English-looking pig family celebrates the various customs and traditions of Christmas, with one large flap per spread that opens to reveal a corresponding illustration. Finely detailed pictures portray Mr. and Mrs. Pigglytoe, their six busy piglets, and an old-fashioned cozy house.
