"Dinkle Donkle Doo is a whimsical children's poem penned by Stella Mead and published in 1949 by the Amex Company. This 14-page book, adorned with charming illustrations by Eulalie (Eulalie Minfred Banks), captures the playful essence of mid-20th-century children's literature. The poem's rhythmic verses and imaginative narrative are designed to delight young readers, making it a memorable piece for those who encountered it during their childhood.

The book's enduring appeal lies in its combination of melodic language and vivid imagery, which together create an engaging reading experience. Eulalie's illustrations complement Mead's verses, bringing the story to life and enhancing its charm. Though Dinkle Donkle Doo is now a rare find , it remains a cherished example of classic children's poetry, reflecting the literary and artistic sensibilities of its time."
