Description
Book SynopsisHiccups: Fun Stories is four hilarious adventures in one exciting comic book, making a collection as brisk and silly as a bout of hiccups.

Trade ReviewBOOKLIST -- This zany book of short stories and mini comics is full of laugh-out-loud fun. Colorful animals, aliens, and humans interact in the stories, and though sometimes they run into problems, in the end everyone has a silly good time. At the heart of each tale are valuable lessons about cooperation, empathy, and so on, but the primary focus is on cartoonish antics and slapstick humor in a collection composed of a nice mix of mystery, adventure, and even some magic. Martinez-Joffre's artwork resembles vintage animation and uses bright, bold colors that perfectly match the over-the-top tone of the plots. Each individual story holds up on its own, while the characters feel like they all inhabit the same world. Sure to illicit plenty of laughs, these bite-sized comics are perfect for elementary and middle-school fans of comics and animated TV shows. Hand to kids who like Franco and Art Baltazar's Tiny Titans series, James Burks' Bird & Squirrel comics, or those who want something a little shorter than Dog Man.
