During my Music for the Classroom Teacher class, we had to pick out a songbook and go to a preschool and present them with an activity, and I know one of my classmates chose the book Yellow Submarine by Charlie Gardener. I’ve always considered myself to be a Beatles fan so I thought it’d be cool to check out and read the book.
Not even after finishing the first page I was extremely confused. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t know too much about the Beatles or what, but all I could really say about the book is that the main characters are all the band mates of the Beatles, and they use quotes from their songs a lot in their book. There are in some place called Pepperland and are trying to get away from the “meanies”. I am definitely missing something, but I think kids might like the book because the illustrations are really neat. Some of the backgrounds look like they are random pictures coming from a TV screen in the 1960s, then random, colorful looking characters are drawn. This book is definitely trippy and confusing, but I liked how different it was from any other book I’ve read.
