Bookroo's summary
Yankee Doodle's ride to town isn't what it seems. His pony's antics lead to unexpected chaos, leaving him cranky and confused. Why is he stuck with a feather and macaroni? Dive into this whimsical tale to uncover the truth behind the legendary song, and enjoy a historical twist that adds depth to the hilarity.
From the publisher
“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.
