Crankee Doodle by Tom Angleberger - ADVISABLE

Crankee Doodle by Tom Angleberger pictures by Cece Bell, PICTURE BOOK Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2013. $8. 978-0-547-81854-2

BUYING ADVISORY - EL (K-3)- ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL : HIGH 

Crankee Doodle is bored and doesn't want to go to town. In fact, he hates every idea his horse gives him - why would he call his hat macaroni? 

What a delightful parody of the popular folksong! The humorous illustrations are a perfect companion to the funny speech bubbles. Includes a short history of the song at the end - for those not already familiar with it.
