    Who was Yankee Doodle anyway?

    You've been singing these ballads by heart for years. Now you and your child can get the real story behind songs like "Oh! Susannah" and "This Land Is Your Land." Take a musical journey through history and learn about the cultures, politics, and lifestyles of the people who settled America and inspired the famous lyrics.

    Your child will delight in exploring the pages of this book through interactive touch. As she does so, she’ll hear stories, listen to music, watch short, funny video clips about "Amazing Presidents," and interact with historical figures like Paul Revere and Lewis and Clark who are brought to life through imaginative dialogue and entertaining character voices.

    Penned in kid-friendly language and filled with odd, interesting facts sure to delight young listeners (one president had hippo bones and cow's teeth in his mouth), this interactive app is an unforgettable musical history lesson that brings ten decades of the American story to life with vivid characters, engaging and humorous dialogue, Monty-Python-style videos, and ten favorite American folk songs.
