Review

Who, how, when, why, and where are all noted in this very informative look about the rise of the musical group. Each Beatles member is introduced in a nature progression, reviewing their childhood, personal musical talents, and their eventual involvement with the group. Little know tidbits are sprinkled in with well established facts that seemly began (for Americans) with their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in the USA.

This book contains rich information that is well researched and documents. The art work enhances the text, making this a very attractive collection item. Several impressive back pages contain a glossary of British terms, notes and an author note clearly written by a fan. Fab Four Friends is perfect for a grade school biography assignment but it is destined to be gifted to original fans of the Beatles during the 1960's.

Purchase for all primary school media centers and public libraries

Overall Book Score: very good
