What Is Rock and Roll?

122 pp. | Penguin/Workshop | August, 2017 | Library ISBN 978-0-451-53383-8 $15.99 | Paper ISBN 978-0-451-53381-4 $5.99
(4) 4-6 Who HQ: What Was...? series. Illustrated by Gregory Copeland. The long-running Who Was...? series (originally Grosset, now rebranded by Penguin Workshop) expands its coverage. This readable, informative volume is marred only by the caricatured cover art (typical of the classic series) and bland, muddy interior pencil illustrations. Otherwise, the book will give young readers a good sense of rock-and-roll history. Occasional full- and double-page text boxes successfully illuminate related topics; photo insert included. Timeline. Bib.
