Who Were the Beatles? (Who Was...?) (ISBN 0448439069)

Who Were the Beatles?:
I am in fourth grade and I enjoyed reading this book. I read this book for a book report for school. It tells about all the Beatles lives. I learned about John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. When they were twenty-something they were asked to go to Germany, but their parents wouldn't let them. They just went and their dressing room was in the bathroom. I felt sad for them. My favorite part was when they played at Shea stadium. There were 50,000 people! The book doesn't talk all about the Beatles. It talks about the Vietnam War and three famous people who got shot. At the end, there is a timeline of the Beatle's lives and one about the world. You should read this book because it's very interesting.

a kid's review:
The book "who were the Beatles?" is a biography about the Beatles. The story is about four guys from Liverpool, England and how they became world famous stars. The main characters are Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. They played in clubs, bars, and then one day one man named Brian Epstein asked them to play their first concert in Hamburg, Germany. The Beatles ran into a few problems like fighting over songs. Paul is my favorite Beatle because he is the lead singer and guitarist. I can relate to the feelings of success. When I learn a song without the book on my guitar, I feel successful. I like the book because it is about a band and I want to be in a band. I like the book because all the characters were interesting. My favorite part of the book is when John gets shot, it was exciting but sad. I would recommend this book to people who like a little suspense and history.

The perfect choice for a biography report!:
My son who is in 2nd grade had to write a biography report. He chose to report on The Beatles. This book was perfect! It gave him all the necessary information and it was just right for his age level. We both learned a lot from reading this book.

the beatles by mathias portillo:
I thought it was great because you get to learn about john,paul,george and ringo the should make a book about the rolling stones but the beatles book is sad too thers a lot of ups and downs

My 6 y.o. loves this book!:
Everyone in my family is a Beatles fan. Our 6 y.o. daughter does not know life without the Beatles. We decided to buy her this book, so she could read up on them. This book relates on a child's level the story of the Fab Four from when they were children. I loved it so much that I ordered more copies to donate to my daughter's elementary school library, 1st grade classroom library, and I plan to order another for her 2nd grade library. This should be on every child's reading list.
