(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Rogers. The song-lyrics-as-picture-book-text trend's latest victim is Dylan's 1974 ode to youthful ideals. The repetitive text just doesn't resonate without a melody. Redeeming the effort are Rogers's funky illustrations, which lovingly track a boy's journey toward becoming a Dylanesque, Greenwich Village musician-activist. Appended illustrator's notes identify the cameo appearances included in the drawings.
