About this book

The Fab Four, the most beloved band of all time, join the ranks of this New York Times bestselling picture book biography series about heroes, for ages 5 to 9. They began as Johnny and the Moondogs, and they weren't very good. But these teens who loved music more than anything kept working at their craft and playing on any small stage they could find. And eventually they became the most recognizable, most influential rock and roll band of all time. How?

Through dedicated teamwork, shared passion, and love. They knew that the best music is the music you make together! This friendly, fun biography series inspired the PBS Kids TV show Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. One great role model at a time, these books encourage kids to dream big. Included in each book are: • A timeline of key events in the hero’s history • Photos that bring the story more fully to life • Comic-book-style illustrations that are irresistibly adorable • Childhood moments that influenced the heroes • Facts that make great conversation-starters • A virtue these heroes embody: This book celebrates the importance of teamwork.
