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.

Brightly illustrated book for the very young, 23 Oct 2002
By Kathleen Cobcroft - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Giddy-Up! Let's Ride! (Hardcover)
Giddy-up! Let's ride! is a repetitive read-aloud and join-in book about the way that different children around the world (and knights and fairies) ride different animals. Each two-page spread shows a brightly painted picture of a different character riding. eg.
This is the way the jockey rides. Faster-and-faster-and-faster-and-faster.
This is the way the nomad rides. [on a camel] lolloppy-plod lolloppy-plod.
The pictures are particularly fun because they are obviously painted with a brush and don't look too far out of the range of a child (until you contemplate the 3-D appearance and fine detail/character), and give a wonderful feeling of motion.

Updated and expanded classic thrills my kids!, 18 April 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Giddy-Up! Let's Ride! (Hardcover)
Both my kids have been bouncing on our knees to the "this is the way the lady rides" ryhme since they were teensy. This book takes that great ryhme, elaborates it and illustrates is magnificently. We got it from the library and fell so deeply in love that we had to buy it. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the different characters such as knight, rajah and fairy give kids' imaginations a great spark! WE love this book!
