5.0 out of 5 starsHilarious in Word and Artwork
By Leggo Ami on January 16, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Not only is the horse (especially his teeth) one of the funniest drawings I've seen in ages, the whole book is just perfect. It's a lot of fun to read aloud to your kids. All you need is a dumb voice for the horse and an over the top posh English accent for Mr. Doodle, the colonist.

The fun is and should be the main focus; however, the book also tackles one of the things that must've puzzled youngsters for ages....why would he call his hat "macaroni." In what world does that make sense? All is explained here.

Buy, buy, buy I say. Probably the best comedic picture book of last year.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe "Sobbing" Page
By Patty Winchester on September 4, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
My grandchildren enjoy that I read this story with a "country" and "English" accent. They crack up on the page where the horse sobs because I really "crank" it up dramatically.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a fun and colorful book! My grandson loved it!
By ML on July 7, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Bought this for my 23 month old grandson. He loved the colorful pages and we read it several times on my recent visit. My daughter-in-law (child librarian) loved it too and plans to use it this week in her summer reading program at the library. Great and fun book!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat way to celebrate July 4th
By CJ on July 18, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I ordered this book prior to July 4th to give to my two year old granddaughter. She loves the book and still insists on reading it repeatedly. It was a great jumping off point for learning the song Yankee Doodle.

1.0 out of 5 starsMade me cranky...
By L on July 22, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
My gosh, what a horrible book. Absolutely no storyline whatsoever….just constant whining which is a concept that requires absolutely no reinforcement with a toddler! I don't usually return low priced items because of the time involved, but I simply HAD to with this book as it was just so, so terrible. This book made me really cranky.

4.0 out of 5 starsThree cheers for Pony!
By K. Miles on November 28, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Boy, Doodle is cranky alright!!! Poor pony can't get Doodle to do anything, even though he's b-o-r-e-d. We finally see an end to the complaining once Doodle hurts Pony's feelings, and wouldn't you know--he finds he actually enjoys himself! My 4th and 5th graders thought this was pretty funny.

5.0 out of 5 starsFun Fun Funny Fun
By Shelli on October 5, 2014
Format: Hardcover
This hysterical picture book revamps the classic tale/song “Yankee Doodle;” which I’m sure most children are familiar with yet don’t understand. Did you know that “macaroni” is another way of saying fancy??? I didn’t know that! The narrative is done in the most whinny and uproarious way that children and adults alike will crack up over. Fun Fun Funny Fun!

3.0 out of 5 starsToo much crankee, not enough doodle
By Aaron Wyckoff on July 16, 2013
Format: Hardcover
I am a fan of Angleberger's Origami Yoda series and I was excited when I saw this book. Then I read it. Then I read it again, just in case I was being too hasty. I really wish I could have liked this book better, but it did not work at all for me.

The illustrations are simple line drawings combined with intense colors. While this is not bad by itself, particularly if you are sharing the book with a very young child, I found them too simple. There just was not enough going on. I could see everything there was to see on a particular page in two seconds. When you combine that with large chunks of text, it becomes very easy for children to lose interest in the page long before you finish reading it.

While the text has a deliberate negativity to it (he is cranky, after all), I felt it was too negative. I had no reason at all to like the main character. I did not really like the pony, either. While children may not pick up on it, I saw the pony as manipulative and self-serving. The pony was not really trying to find something interesting for Doodle to do, it was trying to get him to take it into town for its own purposes.

I can see some children really enjoying the story, but I was unimpressed and would not consider using it in a classroom.
