"Hippo has the hiccups, and they won't stop! His friends try to help, but nothing seems to work. Will Hippo lose all his friends, or will they find a way?"--Page [4] cover.
Tibby the Chubby Tiger meets a very fuzzy bumblebee, Benny, who can’t fly, and they end up forming a close friendship. They become a trio when they meet Hiccup the Hippo, who spends a lot of time alone because she hiccups when she speaks. Instead of making fun of each other’s flaws, the three friends support each other. In this circle of trust, Hiccup reveals her greatest secret, which eventually entices them to go on an adventure. Unexpectedly, they meet a new friend, solve troubling problems, and at the end of it, realize that although they may have thought of themselves as imperfect, each one of them has valuable gifts and strengths to share.
It starts with a case of hiccups during story time at the library. And that leads to an outrageous and hilarious adventure involving a hippo, a little sister, an overturned ice cream cart, a librarian who"s afraid of heights, and a stack of library books that must be returned-on time and in good condition-if the narrator is going to get her very own library card. And nothing could be more wonderful than that! Brightly colored, energetic illustrations make the most of the slapstick humor in this rollicking readaloud.
