Hiccuping Hubert

Some of you may recall when I first started this blog, I had a little "run in" with Mr. James Preller and his book Hiccups for Elephant.  If you're not familiar with the tale, I encourage you to click James Preller's name on the side bar and read all about it!  After several attempts at revising my story Hiccuping Hubert I finally gave up.  I was resolute in thinking it just wasn't meant to be.  I would pack up Hubert and the whole hiccuping idea and move on.  Then one day, in the shower (I get my best ideas in the shower...) it hit me!  Eureka!!!  I'll make Hiccuping Hubert about the days of the week...

Here's the rough draft of the query letter:

Oh no!  Hubert signed up on Sunday for the talent show, but he's got a bad case of the nervous hiccups, "Hiccup-ba."  Hubert's friends have lots of ideas for him, but seem to be helping in all the wrong ways.  Can Hubert get rid of his hiccups and be ready to preform by Saturday?  Or will the show be a hiccuping flop?      

Each day introduces a new friend as Hubert prepares for the show.  But Hubert's friends can't seem to agree on anything, and no one is asking Hubert what he thinks.  Hubert's hiccups get worse and worse until Saturday:  Hubert is a nervous, overwhelmed, panicky, anxious, hysterical wreck!  Hiccup-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba...
