"Readers will want to pore over this thoroughly engaging volume."
-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"A reprise collaboration between Winter and Red Nose Studio is
indeed something to celebrate (see Here Comes the Garbage Barge,
BCCB 4/10), and both author and illustration team are at peak
performance in this sly, rollicking picture book bio of Elvis
Presley and his rise from mic-shy blond tyke to teen dreamboat with
product-infused raven hair who turned his stage-fright trembling
into iconic sex appeal" -- Bulletin, starred review
