    <![CDATA[John  Lennon had two opportunities to be a father. His first son, Julian, was born in 1963 at the dawning of Beatlemania. The  impact of the Beatles' success on John and Julian's relationship? Suffice to  say Paul McCartney  wrote &quot;Hey Jude&quot; as a gesture of sympathy to a forlorn young Julian.  Fatherhood fit John Lennon far better the next time around when the indulgent  daddy, then in his late 30s, put his musical career on hold to indulge his second son, Sean. Evidence of Lennon the doting dad can be found in this 48-page  collection of sun-drenched illustrations sketched out to entertain a toddling offspring. The once-caustic ex-Beatle betrays not a hint of his  scathing side in these vivid drawings. Rather, the witty punster who was dubbed  the &quot;smart Beatle&quot; after he published the prose collection <em>In His Own Write</em> in  1964 is in full flower here. An illustration christened &quot;Collieflower&quot; shows  a budding plant with the face of a canine; &quot;A Frog Pondering&quot; displays a reflective amphibian overlooking a puddle. <em>Real Love</em> is the kind of book that will capture the attention of Beatles collectors, but it should also spark the imaginations of its intended  audience--little Lennonists in the making. <em>--Steven Stolder</em>]]>
