It has been 50 years since The Beatles came to America and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. Seeing all the news programs and entertainment shows talk about this anniversary made me think about the many children's books that have been published concerning this iconic group.
Since I have started this blog I have written about two books that involve the Beatles:
John's Secret Dreams: The John Lennon Story
by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Bryan Collier
The Yellow Submarine by the Beatles
Here are some other titles for a parent or grandparent etc to introduce this great musical band to a new generation:
How the Beatles Changed the World by Martin W. Sandler. Great pictorial about The Beatles for an older child that explains historical and cultural context of the that time in history.
Who were The Beatles? by Geoff Edgers. This book is part of a wonderful biography series for children that is easy to read. A great way to introduce John, Paul, Ringo and George to a younger audience. Great book for child to when they need to read a biography for school.
Octopus's Garden by Ringo Starr and illustrated by Ben Cort. This was one of my favorite songs when I was little. I played it over and over again...is is a fun song that makes a perfect picture book. A great way to introduce The Beatles to a much younger audience.
