As one thief wrote on the armored vault of a bank he’d just emptied: “Without weapons or violence and with no hate.” Stealing a world-famous piece of art from a museum or snatching diamonds under 24-hour surveillance: there is a certain fascination for impressive robberies. And the world has seen some truly legendary ones. Famous Robberies tells the real adventures of those who walked through walls and did the impossible. It introduces the perpetrators of infamous hits like the Great Train Robbery, the Antwerp diamond heist, or the Citibank Hack. With chapters designed in retro-newspaper style, this book will fascinate children for historical events as much as for the investigations and reporting around them.

Finally a picture book series of music biographies that let kids learn the important origin stories of some of the greatest bands in history. With simple stories and sophisticated artwork, this series is perfect for fans and collectors just as much as it is for kids! In a large picture book format meant to replicate the size of a vinyl record, children will learn the story behind the bands that will one day be their favorites too. God save the kids! This is an illustrated history of the beginnings of Queen for the whole family. At the end of the 60s, in the artistic and university environment of London, four young people fascinated by the rock age become friends.

Queen's songs have gone down in the history of rock and have entered the collective minds of generations. Whether you're humming "Bohemian Rhapsody" loudly singing "We Are The Champions," or clapping along to the rhythm with "We Will Rock You," this is the book you've been waiting for!

In the world of music, there are one-hit-wonders and then there are legends--legends that have diehard fans who have loved them for decades. Now these fans can share their love of bands like DEPECHE MODE with their children, nieces and nephews, or even grandchildren! Enter the world of Band Bio Records, a picture book series that gives children a look into the history of some of the biggest bands around: Metallica, Depeche Mode, the Ramones, and Queen.
