review 1: Summary: “Bawk and Roll” is a catchy book about two chickens becoming brave enough to back up sing and dance. They get the chance to dance for Elvis Poultry, a famous world known rooster. They travel with Elvis Poultry and continue to perform but each time they try, they become afraid and can't perform. Elvis thinks of a plan to help the chickens overcome their stage fright once and for all. This book is surrounded with hidden jokes about the real Elvis Presley and the history of rock and roll. Audience: The book is targeted for elementary children that love to sing and dance. This book would give children the encouragement to sing loud and proud, as well as educate a child about rock and roll.Appeal: This would be a great fit for children who love singing and ... moredancing because this book encourages nothing but overcoming your fears and not being afraid to sing.Implementation: I could easily incorporate this book into my lesson plans to get children interested in music as well as teaching them about the history of rock and roll.

review 2: Marge and Lola can't believe how their dreams have come true. Superstar singer Elvis Poultry has asked them to be backup singers on his rock and roll tour. Their chicken dance rocked the house at the talent show in Sauer and Santat's previous book, Chicken Dance. But when the lights come on and Elvis parades in front of the cheering crowd, stage fright strikes - these chickens get cold feet.Marge and Lola are down for the count and are sure nothing can help them. At each new venue, they try something new to calm their nerves, but nothing works! What are a pair of nervous hens to do?But then, they realize they're missing the most important thing of all - the support of their friends. So "the chickens crossed the road" (to mail a letter) and invite their barnyard friends to the next concert. As the concert starts, everyone is cheering for Elvis. But then they hear, "We love you, chickens! ... Let's see your mooooooooves!" Thrilled with the audience's support, Elvis immediately comes up with a new hit song: "Blue Moooooooo" - Marge and Lola are thrilled.Kids love the fast pace, the constant puns and dynamic illustrations. Sauer layers the puns and jokes liberally, and while many refer to Elvis, not all do. Kids will laugh at imagining the audience in their tightie whities and watching Elvis parachute onto the stage. Santat's vibrant illustrations, full of Vegas showbiz costumes and buffoonery, automatically draw kids to this story, but it's his details and unique perspectives that keep them coming back again and again. While this is a sequel to Sauer and Santat's Chicken Dance, you can have fun with it as a stand-alone or as a companion. If you like this, you'll certainly love Jarrett Krosoczka's Punk Farm and Punk Farm on Tour. less
