A little preview

In a sunny clearing, a friendly T-Rex named Rexy giggled when he hiccuped—a tiny, squeaky hic that made flowers tremble and butterflies wobble. Alex watched as leaves fell from laughter. Nearby, Lola the lizard flicked her tongue and offered a cool pebble. Rexy's tiny hiccups kept popping like popcorn, and each surprised friend jumped a little. The hiccups were more tickle than trouble, but many friends wished for quiet so the picnic could go on without bouncy interruptions.
