The beginning of American literature derives from European forms and styles. For example: Wieland and other novels written by Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) imitate the Gothic novel written at that time in England. Even the stories of Washington Irving (1783-1859), especially Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, look European despite their American scenario.

Although Charles Brockden Brown was not in any way the first novelist of America, as some critics affirm, the amplitude and complexity of his achievements as a writer in several genres (novels, stories, essays and journalistic articles of all kinds, poetry, historiography, commentaries ) make him a crucial figure in the literature and culture of the United States in the 1790s and 1800s, and an important intellectual with influence on both sides of the Atlantic in the era of the French Revolution. He practiced the Gothic novel, very fashionable in his time, and served as inspiration to important authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Margaret Fuller and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

James Fenimore Cooper was undoubtedly the most outstanding writer in the post-independence era of the United States His first novel, Precautions, was written from the union between two facts of his private life: the reading his wife made of a book lousy and a bet on his wife in which he claimed to be able to write a better book than she read. His next book, The Spy, prefigures what his later work will be. His most widespread novel, The Last Of The Mohicans, shows us his most accustomed themes: the sea and the borders, the settler and the redskins. He tried to write a History of the Navy. In his pen there is a conspicuous contrast between the violence of what he narrates and the slowness of his prose. He was admired by Honoré de Balzac.

Sandburg's use of literary techniques such as onomatopoeia, alliteration, repetition, and nonsense words makes the story playful and cheerful.

The onomatopoeic words in the story enhance the reader's imagination of the events:

Then the blue foxes and the yellow flongboos pattered pitty-pat, pitty-pat, each with feet and toenails, ears and hair, everything except tails, pattered scritch scratch over the stone floors out into the train shed.

Alliteration and repetition make the story musical and rhythmic, giving it a captivating quality:

And there on a high stool in a high tower on a high hill sits the Head Spotter of the Weather Makers . . . A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off.

The author also uses nonsense words such as flongboo, parleyhoo, and flangwayers. These words make the story fascinating and engaging for children, who can use their imaginations to understand what these words represent. For example, a reader might try to imagine what a "flongboo" or a "flangwayer" looks like:

It is hard for the yellow flongboo to lose his tail because it lights up his way when he sneaks at night on the prairie, sneaking up on the flangwayers, the hippers and hangjasts, so good to eat.

These nonsense words also provide a comedic touch to the story:

The animals picked a committee of representatives to represent them in a parleyhoo to see what steps could be taken by talking to do something.
