Max is the host of the Animal Parade, but when he suddenly gets the hiccups, he can’t say the animal names quite right. This leads to a hilarious, hiccup-filled show! This playful story helps children learn about syllables and how words can be broken into parts, making early literacy fun and memorable.
Max had an important job at the Animal Parade. He had to say the name of each animal.
Max took a deep breath, ready to speak and… HIC! “Oh no,” he said. “Not now!” HICCUP!
Max had the hiccups! But, he started the show. “Welcome to the Animal Parade!”
Max pointed to the first animal. “This animal has a long neck,” he said. “It’s a gi… HICCUP!...”
Max could only say the first part of the word! “It’s a gi… HICCUP!” What is the next part of the word?
Yes! It’s a gi… raffe. A giraffe!
The next animal walked on stage. “This animal swims in icy, cold places,” he said. “It’s a pen… HICCUP!...”
“It’s a pen… HICCUP!” Max could only say the first part! What is the next part of the word?
Yes! It’s a pen… guin. A penguin!
Max took a deep breath. “This animal has a big, toothy grin. It’s a croc… HICCUP! … o… HICCUP!”
Max said two parts of the word. “It’s a croc… HICCUP! … o… HICCUP!” What is the last part of the word?
Yes! It’s a croc… o… dile! A crocodile!
The last animal walked on stage. “This insect is great at jumping! It’s a grass… HICCUP!... hop… HICCUP!”
Max said two parts of the word. “It’s a grass… HICCUP!... hop… HICCUP!” What is the last part of the word?
Yes! It’s a grass… hop… per. A grasshopper!
Max giggled. “Even with the hiccups, I had fun saying animal names!” All the animals clapped and cheered.
