Description
A set of twins help their Uncle Ted to get rid of his hiccups.
Quick Summary
Kids who love silly family antics will get a kick out of Uncle Ted and the Hiccups. When Uncle Ted starts hiccupping loudly, his twin niece and nephew try a series of goofy, home-style cures from drinking water upside down to making him laugh until something finally works. The story is short (under 300 words) and written at a level that lets beginning readers feel confident, while the playful tone keeps even reluctant readers smiling. There's no scary stuff, just a gentle lesson about teamwork and a few laugh-out-loud moments that make it perfect for a bedtime read-aloud. If your child enjoys other early-reader comedies like Elephant & Piggie or Pete the Cat, they'll probably like this one too.
