Finally, a children's book that parents and grandparents will enjoy reading! Kids will delight in the fun rhymes while learning the alphabet and adults will love a walk down rock and roll lane... transported to memories and sentiments of classic music and the good ole days. The artwork is wonderful - cute for the kids and revealing just enough for adults to recognize the icons of rock and roll history.It is a must have for any parent and grandparent who yearns to teach their children about the classics - and maybe share a few "appropriate" stories of their youth along the way.
Seriously, what a fun picture book! My kids didn't know most of the bands but we'd listen to snippets of songs from each one mentioned and it was a trip down memory lane for those of us who grew up listening to the radio. Awesome!
I loved the book. I thought it was so creative using all the groups and their song titles. It brings back some good memories about classic Rock groups!. The graphics are great as well. This book could easily be used in an early elementary music class.
Music has always been a part of my life. My father played the guitar and my Mom, brothers and I were always singing one tune or another. Later, I married a musician and continue to rock to oldies and new tunes. I believe music lifts the heart and strongly encourage young people to learn an instrument, sing in a choir or at the very least, listen and experience all types of music. Rockabet gets the young ones started early in the wonderful world of Rock n Roll while teaching them the alphabet at the same time. The illustrations are awesome and the author takes you on a journey through years of rock. Buy a copy for all the future musicians in your life.
I purchased two copies of Rockabet for Christmas. One for my niece and the other for my boyfriend's nephew. On both occasions, the adults were just as excited about the book as the kids! They loved the GNR reference, "They've got fun and games." And the picture of Elvis munching on his cookie gave everybody a giggle.Rockabet rocks!
Our children LOVED this book! They STILL love to read it, at 7 and 8 years old. What a great way to combine the world of popular music and learning! As parents, we love to read it with the kids! Thanks Kelly Polark!
This book is so creative and so fun to read...your kiddos are sure to love it! Kelly is a great author and we are looking forward to more books from her in the future!
This book is fun for both kids and parents because the classic rock bands are nostalgic for the parents and the kids get to learn about something their parents love while looking at adorable pictures that relate to songs by those bands! The catchy wording and great illustration make this book a WIN WIN!!!! A++++++
