A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
Put on your blue suede shoes and get ready for another addition to the Who Was…? series! The King could not have come from humbler origins: Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, during the Depression, he grew up with the blues music of the rural South, the gospel music of local churches, and the country-western classics. But he forged a sound all his own—and a look that was all his own, too. With curled lip, swiveling hips, and greased pompadour, Elvis changed popular music forever, ushering in the age of rock and roll. Geoff Edgers’s fascinating biography of this icon of American pop culture includes black and- white illustrations on nearly every spread.

Title: Good content, bad cover picture!
Review: My grandkids know I am a big Elvis fan and ask me questions about him intermittently. I decided to look for a kids’ book about Elvis for them and this one seemed like the best pick. I have read many books on Elvis and feel like the content, for the most part, is accurate in this book. There were a few small details I corrected but pretty good overall and written in an interesting fashion on a child’s level. However, the issue with this book from my grandkids’ perspective is that they hate the picture of Elvis on the front so much that they won’t even look at the book! They have requested that I cover the picture on the front with a good photo of Elvis before they read it! I have to say I understand where they are coming from!

Title: Elvis Rocks!!
Review: This “Who Was” series is a wonderful series for readers in grades 4-6 as well as older special needs readers. The format is interesting and the facts about the subject – in this case Elvis – are presented in a clear and informative way. Additionally, there are information boxes in each chapter that highlight or explain other interesting facts pertaining to the subject. For example, guitars, gospel music, and Graceland are explained in these information boxes to name a few in the Elvis book.This breaks up the chapter, and piques the readers interest.The book also includes a timeline on the person as well as a historical timeline to compare it to. As a special education teacher I have found this series invaluable and have been able to grab my students interest with theses books.

Review: 主に幼児や低年齢を対象とした安価なペーパーバックものシリーズの一冊として、英語に堪能ではない自分には、好きなエルヴィス・プレスリーの歴史を、比較的たやすく読むことができるのは、持ってこいの思いで購入してみました。挿絵付きの１０５ページで、縦約１９cm×横約１３cmの大きさで普段なら辞書を片手に、がエルヴィスについて色々と知っていることもあり比較的気軽に読むことができ、また低年齢向けの英語ですから、易しい表現が助けてくれますので、その辺に置いては時々手に取り楽しんでいます。様々な人物の伝記のようなものを平易な英語で楽しめるので、他の人物のものにも興味がわいてきます。何といっても、幼児や低学年向けのものですから。平易な英語を学ぶ良い機会にもなると思います。
