Hinckley's Horrible Hiccups

This book was inspired by a teacher I had in 4th grade. Her name was Mrs. Troyer and she would actually ask kids to come in front of the class and try to hiccup. No one ever did that I can remember. As a kid, I once had the hiccups 4 times in one day and became worried. I went to my dad. He told me that it was serious with a scared look on his face. I then thought it really must be bad until he laughed. I made up this story on the spur of the moment when my kids were young. I would tell them stories every night. This is one of their favorites and I have told it to several groups of kids and adults.
