The song “Yankee Doodle” has a catchy melody and easy rhyming lyrics. But, have you ever wondered what the words mean? Seriously, why would anyone stick a feather in their hat and call it macaroni? In this hilarious tale, author Tom Angleberger takes on this mystery and introduces us to a couple of wacky characters, the pony and Mr. Doodle himself. Read this book and you may just find out what the Revolutionary War was really about!
