Series: Wait! What?

Did you know that John Lennon's mom called him "Stinker" because he farted so much? Or that Paul McCartney liked playing guitar in the bathroom? Bet you didn't know that George Harrison once had his friend's parent sign his report card, or that Ringo Starr's grandma thought he was possessed by witches!

Paige and Turner have collected some of the most unusual and surprising facts about the rock stars, from their childhoods and early days as musicians to the formation of the Beatles and their rise to become the greatest band of all time.

Narrated by the two spirited siblings and animated by Allison Steinfeld's upbeat illustrations, Wait! What? The Beatles Couldn't Read Music? is an authoritative, accessible, and one-of-a-kind biography infused with Dan Gutman's signature zany sense of humor.
