“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 that the legendary ride to town (and the whole macaroni thing) was all suggested by Mr. Doodle’s overeager pony. This just makes Mr. Doodle cranky: “I do not want macaroni. I do not want a feather. I do not want any other clothing, any other pasta, or any other parts of a bird. I do not want anything that they have in town!” A historical note ends this colorful, comical take on a nonsensical old song.

Not only is the horse (especially his teeth) one of the funniest drawings I've seen in ages, the whole book is just perfect. It's a lot of fun to read aloud to your kids. All you need is a dumb voice for the horse and an over the top posh English accent for Mr. Doodle, the colonist.The fun is and should be the main focus; however, the book also tackles one of the things that must've puzzled youngsters for ages....why would he call his hat "macaroni." In what world does that make sense? All is explained here.Buy, buy, buy I say. Probably the best comedic picture book of last year.
My grandchildren enjoy that I read this story with a "country" and "English" accent. They crack up on the page where the horse sobs because I really "crank" it up dramatically.
Bought this for my 23 month old grandson. He loved the colorful pages and we read it several times on my recent visit. My daughter-in-law (child librarian) loved it too and plans to use it this week in her summer reading program at the library. Great and fun book!
I ordered this book prior to July 4th to give to my two year old granddaughter. She loves the book and still insists on reading it repeatedly. It was a great jumping off point for learning the song Yankee Doodle.
My gosh, what a horrible book. Absolutely no storyline whatsoever….just constant whining which is a concept that requires absolutely no reinforcement with a toddler! I don't usually return low priced items because of the time involved, but I simply HAD to with this book as it was just so, so terrible. This book made me really cranky.
Boy, Doodle is cranky alright!!! Poor pony can't get Doodle to do anything, even though he's b-o-r-e-d. We finally see an end to the complaining once Doodle hurts Pony's feelings, and wouldn't you know--he finds he actually enjoys himself! My 4th and 5th graders thought this was pretty funny.
Tom Angleberger is the guy behind the Orgami Yoda series, which took over my house for months with Star Wars Origami. Cece Bell is the cartoonist of El Deafo, her memoir about growing up with a hearing aid that my husband and I fell in love with in 2014. I had no idea they were married and my mind was somewhat blown when I saw this book on the shelf at the library!It is hilarious. If the kiddo in your life doesn’t know the Yankee Doodle song, you can sing it to them right before you read it, and that will suffice for backstory. You can tell from the front cover that it’s going to be wacky, with the pony making helpful suggestions and the guy reacting with tirades of annoyance. You need decent energy to read this book out loud dramatically, and it’s SO worth it.
This hysterical picture book revamps the classic tale/song “Yankee Doodle;” which I’m sure most children are familiar with yet don’t understand. Did you know that “macaroni” is another way of saying fancy??? I didn’t know that! The narrative is done in the most whinny and uproarious way that children and adults alike will crack up over. Fun Fun Funny Fun!
