Rating: Summary: THIS YANKEE DOODLE'S A DANDY ! Review:
Put a feather in your cap and run to he store for a copy of this irresistible look at American history through the eyes of a patriotic mouse named Yankee Doodle.
Following an introduction explaining that the tune "Yankee Doodle" was sung by the British to make fun of the Yankees and an interpretation of the use of the rather puzzling "Macaroni," the music and lyrics for 6 verses of the song are presented.
Then we're off on a captivating lesson penned in charming rhyme and accompanied by historical information - "She was known as Molly Pitcher because she carried pitchers of water to the soldiers through the heat of the day."
Gary Chalk's colorful comical illustrations are priceless, with armies of animals serving as soldiers. His attention to artistic detail is peerless. Although suggested for children, this is a whimsical story that will be enjoyed by all ages. Gary Chalk's "Yankee Doodle" is surely a dandy!
