유명한 전래동요인 Yankee Doodle은 미국에서는 누구나 즐겨부르는 노래지만 그 가사의 의미는 잘 알지 못합니다.
Yankee Doodle went to town
A-riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni
이 노래는 미국의 독립전쟁이 한창일 때 크게 유행하여, 미국 독립을 갈망하며 싸우던 사람들의 사기를 크게 높인 기념비적인 노래이며, 지금도 미국에서는 애국심을 고취시키는 노래로 사용되곤 합니다.
이 책은 Yankee Doodle의 단순한 4줄 가사를 이용하여, 이 노래에 등장하는 당나귀와 양키가 대화를 주고 받는 내용으로 구성되어 있습니다. 책 제목은 Yankee Doodle을 Crankee Doodle, 즉 "짜증을 내는 두들"로 변형한 것에서 알 수 있듯이, 오리지널 양키 두들의 내용에 대해 시니컬한 반응을 보이는 양키의 이야기입니다.
지루해하던 양키에게 당나귀가 시내에 함께 가자고 합니다만, 양키는 시내에 가고 싶지 않은 이유를 장황하게 떠벌립니다.
당나귀가 계속해서 시내에 가서 쇼핑을 하면서 모자를 장식할 깃털을 사자고 합니다만, 양키는 여전히 왜 그러고 싶지 않은지 이유를 댑니다.
당나귀가 깃털로 장식한 모자를 마카로니라고 부른다고 하자, 양키는 모자는 모자일 뿐이며 자신은 마카로니보다는 라자냐를 더 좋아한다고 말합니다.
당나귀는 양키에게 시내까지 태워주겠다고 하자, 양키는 당나귀 냄새가 지독해서 타기 싫다고 하네요. 그 말을 듣고 모욕감을 느낀 당나귀는 엉엉 울어버리고, 미안해진 양키는 함께 시내로 가서 쇼핑을 하기로 합니다. 그리고 그들을 시내로 데려간 것은...
미국적인(우리에게는 익숙치 않은) 유머가 가득한 내용입니다.
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
Many know the song “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” but few understand it. This unapologetically silly picture book reveals that the legendary ride to town (and the whole macaroni thing) was all suggested by Mr. Doodle’s overeager pony. This just makes Mr. Doodle cranky: “I do not want macaroni. I do not want a feather. I do not want any other clothing, any other pasta, or any other parts of a bird. I do not want anything that they have in town!” A historical note ends this colorful, comical take on a nonsensical old song.
School Library Journal
Using details from the nonsensical song "Yankee Doodle," this goofy picture book focuses on a conversation between the famous gentleman and his pony, who is trying to cajole his bored owner into taking a trip to town. Crankee Doodle is having none of it, grousing about town being too noisy and chaotic, with people ringing bells, eating pies, and running around. With each additional suggestion from the pony ("You could buy a feather for your hat!" and "You could call it macaroni."), Crankee gets more and more indignant and his arguments sillier. His refutation that the word "macaroni" shouldn't mean "fancy" because lasagna noodles are really fancy is laugh-out-loud funny. Crankee relents in the end, but rather than go to town astride his pony, he rides in style in the backseat of a car, driven by his hooved pet. The cartoon illustrations are big and bold and as comical as the text. Crankee's grouchy diatribes and his pony's affable responses make for a great read-aloud, especially when paired with a sing-along of the classic tune.
Booklist
In this laugh-out-loud reworking of “Yankee Doodle,” Angleberger introduces a miserable and argumentative colonial fellow whose goofy-toothed pony tries to talk him into going to town. At first, Crankee has lots of reasons not to make the trip: “There is nothing good to do in town. Why would I want to go to town?” The pony suggests a shopping adventure, and then lists the things that they could purchase, and for each suggestion, his grouchy companion responds with a stream of whining answers. Eventually, the pony is brought to tears, and a contrite Crankee agrees to the trip after all, with an unexpected turn that puts the pony behind the wheel of a car. In his first picture book, the author of the Origami Yoda series puts a witty, accessible spin on the familiar song, while Bell’s bright, bold gouache images extend the zany humor. One final delightful twist: it’s Crankee’s pony who narrates the postscript about the tale’s traditional origins.
Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review*
"Best-seller Angleberger of Origami Yoda fame takes on picture books, treating a younger audience to his dry and zany wit. . . . A historical hoot full of goofy, eye-rolling goodness."
Horn Book *Starred Review*
"As concepts for picture books go, it's hard to think of one cleverer than this absurdist deconstruction of the familiar song. . . . Readers will cheerfully hum their way through the giddily imagined argument and resolution."
Publishers Weekly
"By book's end, both characters have had meltdowns, prompting a Yankee change of heart and a comically anachronistic trip to town that will have readers laughing."
