Crankee Doodle

**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.
