Yankee Doodle

Set to the tune of the same name, Yankee Doodle rides through the Revolutionary War spying on the Redcoats and cheering George Washington's troops on to victory."At the center of the blue-skied visions of New England is a mischievous Yankee Doodle, wending his way through camps and battles in the company of his little dog. The overall atmosphere is one of festive patriotism. . . [Audiences] are sure to sing along with the text. . . Kellogg has also provided fascinating notes about the history of the song and glosses about antiquated expressions." --- Kirkus Reviews
