HIC HIC HIC What's worse than a chronic case of the hiccups? How about a HIPPO with a chronic case of the hiccups? Is there any cure, or are those hiccups doomed to stay? vibrant illustrations, spirited text, and unforgettable characters unite in this exciting debut work from talented author/illustrator Aaron Zens.

I saw this book on Amazon and figured that A would really enjoy this book. A and I had fun trying to say some of the words in the book that end with amus. This is a cute rhyming book and the illustrations are very colorful and go well with the book. It doesn't give us a cure for the hiccups but we see what happens when Hippo hiccups by others.
