Description
Set in a period of U.S. history, American Revolutionary, simple text and illustrations tell the song "Yankee Doodle." A music notation is also included.
Quick Summary
This picture book brings the classic Yankee Doodle tune to life with bright illustrations and an actual music score, letting kids see the song as well as sing it. Children enjoy the bouncy rhythm, the silly pictures of a feather-capped colonial boy, and the interactive chance to chant the refrain while following the simple text. If your kid likes The Wheels on the Bus or other sing-along picture books, they'll adore this musical history lesson. Ideal for early readers in preschool through second grade (ages 4-7), this book works as a classroom read-aloud or a cozy bedtime sing-along.
