This book tells the story of a bird called Sebastian who tries many home remedies to get rid of his hiccups. The text takes the form of a narrative and contains direct speech.

The text is cumulative without direct repetition, enabling children to practice new or unfamiliar words in a supported way. Cartoon characters are used to add humour; speech balloons are used.
