John, Paul, George & Ben by Lane Smith

Signed children's book from ALA. The title almost sounds like the Beatles, and the dedication starts out: "I get by with a little help from my friends:..." But it really is a mini history lesson. John was a bold lad, who liked to write his name on the chalkboard in huge letters (Hancock.) Paul was a noisy lad, which came in handy when he had to ride and shout "The redcoats are coming." George was an honest lad... Ben was a clever lad... Tom was an independent lad... You get the picture. (And the illustrations are fun too.)
