"Zany fun . . . Good Vibrations is a good book for an aging Baby Boomer, a hipster, or a beach-going anyone." --New York Journal of Books

She's giving me the excitations
Good, good, good, good vibrations
She's giving me the excitations . . ."

Parents and children alike can share and enjoy one of rock's greatest hits through the colorful pages of Good Vibrations.
