Summary: This is a cute story in comic form of a bunny who has a play one day at school. He is very nervous about the play, and tries to get out of going to school, but his dad does not fall for his tricks. Then, the bunny gets the hiccups after eating a big breakfast. He and his friends spend all day trying different things to get his hiccups to go away before the big performance. In the end, the bunny's hiccups go away just in time for him to be a star in the play.
Evaluation: This was a cute story, and it was fun to read it in a graphic novel form. It could have easily been written in more of a picture book style, but the comic form made it very interesting to read. The illustrations went very well with the story. They were very cartoon like and colorful and enhanced the comic strip theme very well. Overall, this was a funny story about a bunny who has the hiccups told in a long comic strip form, and it was done very well. It was easy to follow the speech bubbles, which is something I sometimes have difficulty doing with certain texts, so that was a plus.
Rating: I would give this graphic novel 4.5/5 stars.
