Why is this Yankee so gosh darn cranky? Find out in this hilarious
take on the traditional nonsense song by New York Times bestselling
author Tom Angleberger and Newbery Honor winning Cece Bell.
* "A historical hoot full of goofy, eye-rolling goodness."
--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"A witty, accessible spin on the familiar song." --Booklist
"Yankee Doodle went to town / a-riding on a pony / stuck a feather in
his hat / and called it macaroni." Many know the song "Yankee Doodle
Dandy," but few understand it. This unapologetically silly picture book
reveals the legendary ride to town--and the whole macaroni thing--was
actually the work of Mr. Doodle's overeager pony. Mr. Doodle doesn't
want any pasta or even a trip into town. No wonder he's so cranky!
Includes a historical note.
