AND MAY I INTRODUCE TO YOU...

...the world's greatest band, the Beatles! This delightful book is an ideal way to introduce the Beatles to children in your life. It is an excellent teaching tool. It is even better when you accompany the book with some Beatle recordings done by the Beatles themselves. You can use the book as a way of opening up discussions and even sharing important parts of your life as relates to Beatle songs or Beatle influence. This exceptional author does an outstanding job of showing young people just why and how the Beatles raised the musical bar and are the standards by which music is often set to this very day. The wonderful pictures of the Long Haired Lads from Liverpool will undoubtedly delight young fans as well as fans upward of voting age. Make this a part of childrens' lives; you can play "Beatle games," such as "find/point to John," or "Find George in this picture. He's older and has on different clothes," "Find Paul with the mustache in this picture and Paul without a mustache in that one," etc. Sing Beatle songs with kids and make the Beatles a part of their lives. You can also do Beatle themed songs, like "There was a farmer who had a dog and RINGO was his name-O, R-I-N-G-O," etc. Beatle games in addition to this book and listening to Beatle songs will surely delight fans of all ages. This one gets cheers and a yeah, yeah, yeah from me!

A GREAT introduction for yound readers

Looking to introduce the youngsters in your life to REAL rock and roll? Or simply to connect them to a part of your own past that shaped their present? If so, Mr. Wentzel's book is a joy and a delight. Written with charm and wit, this book helps young people understand just why the Beatles were so very special. My only complaint is the cover photo. Given the terrific shots inside, they could have done so much better for what will be many yound readers' first impression of the Fab Four. Thankfully, Wentzel's words make up for that shortcoming.Enjoy it with the children in YOUR life!
