Customer Reviews

What a surprise!

I am a music teacher and try to incorporate a lot of children's literature with my music lessons. The kids absolutely LOVED this book...we studied Elvis, added him to our timeline, and then at Christmas time when I read this book to them they were excited as they made the comparisons from the songs to which we listened to the songs in the book! I found the vocabulary rich and full of instructional material...rhymes, rhythms, etc.

Great

Great story for kids to follow along with. Great illustrations that are very detailed. It's the kind of book that we all had fun with.

Don't Be Cruel

The Clauses are not quite a hard hearted woman and a soft hearted man, but they run a heckuva workshop and one man micromanages the elves! One elf bore a strong resemblance to Elvis Presley. After he bungles at toy making, the shop foreman all but banishes him to Jailhouse Rock. There, Elfis meets a snowman who reminds one of a snowy version of Little Richard who helps him find his niche. A transformation later - an Elfish version of Elvis! Returning to the elves' workshop, Elfis in his new King of Rock regalia, armed with a guitar transforms that workshop into a fun place where they all mass produce the toys and have a rocking good time! Now, you ain't nothing but a hound dog if you can't see the humor in this one. It's delightful!

Great Holiday Fun!

A fun to read, out of the norm, Christmas book. My daughters-7 & 5 loved it. The illustrations were adorable (my favorite was Elfis in his jumpsuit). I had to listen to a few Elvis songs to remember the beat, but once I "rehearsed" we had a blast reading it. Lots of fun! I recommend it for a lighthearted reading.
