Reviews:
"I was amazed that Weston Woods was able to animate all the textures and 18th Century-style inklines that I created for the book. It's the book literally coming to life. And the Beatles-esques music is a hoot!" - Lane Smith, author/illustrator
"This whimsical title proves that history can indeed be fun." - Booklist
"...featuring a winning Beatles-esque soundtrack...(this) is an entertaining children's title that could easily spark discussion about...these American legends. Recommended." - Video Librarian
