From the publisher

“There was a hippopotamus who hiccupped quite-a-lotamus. And every time he got’emus… he’d fall upon his bottomus!” Calamity ensues when an elephant, a centipede, and a rhinoceros try finding a cure for hippo’s colossal case of hiccups. Author-illustrator Aaron Zenz’s creativity shines through in his colored pencil artwork in this off-the-wall read-aloud. HIC! HIC! HIC!
