The happy Hiccup Pickup loves the way he sounds—he doesn’t honk or beep like the other cars and trucks. Instead, when he gets excited, he makes a uniquely joyful sound: “Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!” And when his friends hear him coming with his furry sidekick, Pup, they know they’re in for fun.

Truck and Pup travel everywhere together – visiting exciting places and meeting new friends while spreading messages about sharing, accepting differences, and trying new experiences.

In this first book in the series of “Hiccup Pickup Adventures,” the two best friends visit the town of Pumpkin Hollow for the annual Trunk-or-Treat Festival. Truck brings treats for all of his friends, and Pup learns that Halloween isn’t scary after all. “It’s silly, sweet, and full of fun!”
