From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Toddler-PreS—Paired with Presley's original lyrics, Graegin's illustrations tell the stories of four families welcoming new babies and celebrating the first few years of life. The pencil-and-watercolor artwork begins with diverse families gathered outside a hospital nursery window peering adoringly at their bundle (or bundles) of joy and the words "Love me tender." All of the families take their babies home to cuddle, love, and celebrate life, right up until they walk their now-preschoolers to Graceland Preschool. Many other nods to Presley and music are worked into the artwork—from a mother dancing with her baby, to toy musical instruments, to a record player presumably playing an Elvis album. Even the endpapers show toddlers singing, dancing, and playing instruments. An endnote from Priscilla Presley is included. VERDICT Best enjoyed sung one-on-one with the very young. |
About the Author / 作者介绍: |
Elvis Presley was an internationally recognized and beloved singer and performer during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Over the course of his career, Elvis was nominated for 14 Grammys (3 wins) and sold over a billion records world-wide, more than any other artist. At the age of 36, Elvis received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 1970 he was named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation by the United States Jaycees. In addition to his musical accolades, Elvis also starred in 33 films and made numerous television appearances. Elvis died at his home in Memphis on August 16, 1977. Today, he is regarded as the king of rock-and-roll and one of the most influential pop culture figures of the 20th century.
