Yankee Doodle

32 pp. | Little/Tingley | April, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-316-14551-3 $$15.95
(4) PS Sing-Along Stories series. Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. In Hoberman's revision of the familiar children's song (musical notation provided), Yankee Doodle, his gal, and some animals (including a poodle) open up a noodle shop; their menu includes--what else?--apple strudel. The nonsensical story is clearly just an excuse to rhyme up a storm, but the lyrics scan, and Westcott's loose, detailed images gamely capture the spirited silliness.
