"Ten little Elvi gettin' ready to shine... / One made a comeback / and then there were nine." References to Graceland, the Vegas years, and other Elvis staples won't mean much to the book's intended audience. Still, this snappy version of the counting rhyme has visual appeal, with its caricatured pompadour-wearing cast, and enough bounce to engage even those not already familiar with the King.
