About the Author
Flora McDonnell says of Giddy Up! Let's Ride!, "When I was a child, I learnt to love riding from my grandmother. She recited the old nursery rhyme, This is the way the lady rides, making me walk, trot, canter and gallop on her knee. I imagined myself on ponies, horses, donkeys, elephants, camels - all sorts of animals. And in this book I've painted some of them for you. I hope you will love riding them too." Flora McDonnell's other books for children include I Love Animals, her first book, which won the 1995 Mother Goose Award; I Love Boats; Splash!; and Flora McDonnell's ABC.
From Publishers Weekly
Riders of all stripes saddle up in McDonnell's (Splash!) distinctive take on a traditional nursery rhyme. This is the way the drummer rides. Bang! Bang! BOOM! BOOM! This is the way the show jumper rides. Trrrit-trrrot trrrit-trrrot. The oversize format provides just the right showcase for McDonnell's thickly applied, high-intensity acrylic and gouache illustrations. Set against a backdrop the color of tomato soup, the opening spread shows the little drummer on the back of his big horse. Sitting atop a graceful gelding and prancing on a pristine green, the show jumper on the next spread provides perfect contrast. While McDonnell keeps the focus on horses, she does diversify. Thick legs, sneakered hooves and a suspicious eye-hole hint at animal impersonation at the circus (This is the way the clown rides. Bump BUMP bumpetty-BUMP); later, a rajah rides an elephant decorated with a golden harness, gems and bells. The final spread returns readers to reality: This is the way the children ride. Giddy-up! Giddy-up! Let's ride! The rocking horse, stick pony and elephant pull-toy reveal their imaginative play. Large print makes the repetitive text stand out and the onomatopoeic refrain is handwritten with a flourish. Vibrant and catchy, this blue-ribbon offering will surely get kids into the groove . Ages 2-4.
