I love the historical explanations given at the beginning of the book, which give kids a better basis for understanding the meaning within what seems like a child's song.

An old friend revisited, love the illustrations.

I choose to examine this title because of the woodcut illustrations done by Ed Emberley and they were fine. There is some preface material relating info about the song that is fairly interesting. For example have you wondered about sticking a feather in his cap and calling it macaroni. Macaroni is an old term for very fancy trimming. Overall perhaps adults would like this better than children.
