Send to friendBuggly Bear's Hiccup Cure
Lively and humorous tale in which Buggly tries to rid himself of 'hiccups' with the help of his friend, Forrest the Deer. The homespun attempts --- holding his breath, counting to a hundred, receiving a shock --- will strike chords with readers from five to eight. Look at the ways in which the author's own imaginative, sparky pictures tell their own stories. The simple text has been intelligently placed to help the climax of the tale. Well worth looking at.
