Who Was Elvis Presley? by Geoff Edgers, Who HQ

3.0

Whenever I think of Elvis Presley, I think of two things: a sock-hop my elementary school won when I was in the fourth grade and an old story of my dad's. When he was a teenager, he went with his older sisters to see Elvis. Apparently, it was towards the end of Elvis's life when he was out of shape. Elvis was wearing one of his famous white jumpsuits. He played a set, introduced his band for thirty minutes, wiped his face on a washcloth and tossed out to the crowd, and left! Everyone just sat there in shock until someone announced, "Elvis has left the building!"

This being two of my dominant memories of Elvis, I really did enjoy this book and definitely recommend it as a foundation to learning more about Elvis. Though some of the facts are now outdated, it's still pretty accurate and well-rounded.

I'd recommend for kids who are sick of asking their parents who Elvis is or just want to learn more.
