What Is Punk? by Eric Morse and Anny Yi
This is a picture book for grandpa's to read to their toddlers. It has a bunch of clay-mation style images of punk rockers from the 1970s. It asks "What is Punk?", and then shows a picture of CBGB and a lot of early bands and artists. It gets about as far as the Ramones and Sex Pistols, with a dozen other acts thrown in. The Green Day-fueled East Bay pop-punk scene is a couple decades too late for this book. Bad Brains get a mention, but Fugazi started much too late. Other than a lot of name dropping, there is not a whole lot of detail here.
