for beatles fans both big and small

Are you a Beatles fan?  Here is a book that you absolutely NEED in you collection - The Beatles Were Fab (And They Were Funny) by Kathleen Krull and Paul Brewer with pictures by Stacy Innerst. 

"From the time they got together as lads until they became superstars, the Fab Four made music, made history, and made people laugh."

There are about one million books about the Beatles.  Why do you need one more, right? Well, I feel like if you are going to write a book on a well-worn subject like the Beatles, you need to find a unique take on the subject, and this book definitely does that.  The story follows the same line of following the Fab Four through their climb to fame and the pop charts, but what makes it different from other Beatles books is its focus on humor and how important the ability to laugh and make jokes was to the band.  As the title says, the Beatles were really, really funny people.  This is a great read for Beatles fans, but I think there is a lesson in there somewhere for us all, too.  Laughter and a good sense of humor is so valuable in helping us enjoy the good moments and survive the bad moments.   

Recommended age group: 6 and up
