What is The Hiccupotamus about?
A hippopotamus has a hiccuping problem so enormous that every hiccup sends him tumbling onto his bottom. An elephant, a centipede and a rhinoceros hurry to help, trying one curious cure after another. But nothing seems to stop the noisy HIC! HIC! HIC! As the animals work together, their efforts lead to a wonderfully silly and unexpected solution. Told in lively rhyme and filled with playful wordplay, this humorous picture book turns an ordinary case of hiccups into a chaotic animal adventure.
