Elvis Presley--the King of Rock 'n' Roll, still beloved by millions of
Americans--comes to vibrant, gyrating life in this extraordinary
picture-book biography from an award-winning author and the winner of a
New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award.
Here's the perfect book for anyone who wants to introduce rock 'n' roll
and its king to the child in their lives. In single- page "chapters"
with titles like "The First Cheeseburger Ever Eaten by Elvis" and
"Shazam! A Blond Boy Turns into a Black-Haired Teenager," readers can
follow key moments in Presley's life, from his birth on the wrong side
of the railroad tracks in the Deep South, to playing his first guitar in
grade school, to being so nervous during a performance as a teenager
that he starts shaking . . . and changes the world!
Jonah Winter and Red Nose Studio have created a tour-de-force that
captures a boy's loneliness and longing, along with the energy and
excitement, passion, and raw talent that was Elvis Presley.
"Readers will want to pore over this thoroughly engaging volume." --
