Bad Case of Hiccups

The Hicccupotamus
Written & Illustrated by: Aaron Zenz
Two Lions, 2009
32 pages
Modern Fantasy Book

A hippo named Calamity ends up with a bad case of hiccups. Some of the other animals try to help her get rid of the hiccups but don’t succeed.
Poor Calamity and her bad case of the hiccups, will she ever get rid of the hiccups?

The illustrations are very bright colored-pencil art work that
keeps the children’s interest throughout the book. 

My content area would be Science and 2nd grade.
We would discuss what causes hiccups and come up with
different ways that we could possibly get rid of hiccups.
