Elvis: The Story of the Rock and Roll King

32 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | April, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9447-3 $17.99
(2) K-3 Evocative free verse follows Elvis chronologically from his humble beginnings to the legendary Sun Records recording studio in Memphis where the young musician got his big break. Christensen wisely focuses on Elvis's childhood and pre-fame years; many young readers will relate to his unwavering focus on music. Photo-collage and mixed-media illustrations have just the right touch of folksiness for the subject. Timeline. Bib.
