Customer Reviews

Great introduction to the Beatles for younger childern
I bought this book for my seven year old son who loves the Beatles music. It was the first book he actually read cover to cover voluntarily, and he had great fun telling me the facts he had learned. This book has just the right balance of information and images for a young person. I will be looking out for others in this series.

Delightful, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
This delightful book is an excellent teaching tool for younger readers in introducing them to the Beatles. This book is all about cultural enrichment. The drawings as well as the Long & Winding Road each Beatle traveled from his boyhood are neatly portrayed in this book. Be sure to get this gem for a young Beatle fan or one on their way to Beatle fandom. It gets a hearty yeah, yeah, yeah!

This is an ideal companion book to "Who Were the Beatles."
