Pipa and the Star with Hiccups

One night a star keeps switching on and off: she has the hiccups! In a rocket made from the washing machine’s box, your child and their little dog Pipa fly up to her and teach her the flower-and-candle trick.

Here’s how it looked with Nico

The first page

That night, Nico couldn’t sleep, because a star was doing something very strange. It switched on, it switched off, it switched on again… HIC! And again.

“Pipa,” he whispered, “that star has the hiccups.”

Pipa, his little dog, perked up her brown ear, which is the one that does the listening.

So they built a rocket out of the washing machine’s cardboard box, two flashlights and lots of imagination. And they blasted off through the window.
