From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade 2AA beginning chapter book that misses the mark. On the hottest day of the summer, Bear goes to the pond and claims it as his own. Frog feels the same way and when he too declares, "Mine," his friends fear for his safety. Bear opens her mouth wide and Frog suddenly disappears. When the other animals ask about Frog, Bear only replies, "Hiccup." Several creatures offer remedies, but Bear's hiccups are finally cured when an impatient young turtle bites her on the nose. Frog pops out whole, the hiccups disappear, and an uneasy peace is restored at the pond. The language is accessible; there is just the right amount of repetition of words and ideas without begin monotonous. Picture clues will also help young readers along. Close-up pen-and-ink watercolor illustrations adequately present the pond and forest animals. Unfortunately, there is a general lack of humor in both the art and text, making the events more humdrum than exciting. Once the bear gets the hiccups, things perk up but by then readers may have lost interest because of the book's slow start. Turtle is the only winner here.AMartha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City,
