Be Cool, Going to School
Hickle Pickle Books #3
Smith
1994
Okay, this is a weird one. Evidently an alien pickle shows up and heads to school. I am not sure of the origin story, perhaps that is in the earlier part of this 6 part series. His name is Hickle. Hilarious, right? For reasons that are not quite clear, he is interested in where dill pickles came from. (Genealogy project?)
They went to their local library and looked up dill pickles in the OPAC and could only find out how to MAKE dill pickles. No info on the origin of pickles. Librarian tells them to go to a bigger library. (Really? That is the best this librarian can do?) They try the state library. More nothing. Finally, they call a pickle packing company. They send a letter, and a pickle company sends Hickle a book on the history of the pickle. Hickle has fun at school and likes being a pickle.
Not really sure what to make of this. I had trouble following the story.
