When the rabbit Hyacinth Hop gets hiccups, her brother takes her on a search for the cure and gets such suggestions as a syrup of figs and nutmeg or stewed rhubarb and toothpaste. At the store, Hyacinth "hic-hops" into a grocery cart, which crashes around, finally curing her. Watercolor illustrations, reminiscent of Rosemary Wells's Max and Ruby, accompany the amusing but undistinguished story.
