(2) 4-6 Cartoonist Stamaty's account of how his eight-year-old self discovered rock 'n' roll is rich in character, incident, family dynamics, and period detail. Mark is driven wild by Elvis Presley's music; his mom is driven crazy. Stamaty's dough-faced grinning caricatures glow with a surprising warmth that should reach across generations to grab kids and make them think twice about their grandparents.
