The Wonderful Thing About Hiccups by Cece Meng, illustrations by Janet Pedersen 2007
A young boy attempts to explain the rules of the library while battling hiccups, riding a hippo, and keeping his little sister in one piece. If all goes well (books returned and in good condition) a library card will be given, and this is a wonderful gift indeed.
The unpredictability of the story, and the unkempt young boy, will induce many giggles. The joy of reading is highlighted with great effect.
Appropriate for ages 3-8

Dear Jenni,
Thank you for taking the time to review my books. I love your website - right down to the name. Sorry about the delay in my response. My Internet connection has been down for the past month and I completely forget to check my "author" e-mail account while at the local coffee shop.
You are obviously passionate about children's literature, which is something we have in common. I'll keep checking your site periodically to see what books have caught your eye.
Keep up the great work in support of kids and books and reading.
Thanks again for your reviews,
Cece Meng
