Product Description

Review

Rogers sets Dylan's timeless lyric (composed, writes the renowned author, "in a minute") to simply drawn and colored cartoon scenes strewn with references to iconic '60s-era people and places, as well as Dylan songs and albums. The result is a keepsake of the period that will nonetheless speak to modern readers. The archetypal plot follows an eager lad who takes the guitar passed to him by a smiling busker outside Gerde's Folk City, and at the end passes the instrument in turn to an even younger girl. In between, he sings in the park for the likes of Joan Baez, zooms down Highway 61 in a VW beetle and marches beneath antiwar signs with Martin Luther King Jr. and others. The illustrator provides a partial key at the end, along with the occasional musical recommendation. Modern songs don't generally make the leap to this format successfully - Dylan's own Man Gave Names to All the Animals (1999), illustrated by Scott Menchin, being a case in point - but here's a rare exception. (Picture book. 6-8, Boomers) (Kirkus Reviews)


Product Description

May you build a ladder to the stars And climb on every rung May you stay forever young Since he first released his self-titled debut in 1962, Bob Dylan has been one of the most celebrated artists of our time. And perhaps nowhere is he more affecting than in his 1974 hit, Forever Young. It's an antem to youth, to doing the right thing, to cherishing the spirit of being young. Re-imagined by award-winning illustrator, Paul Rogers, the lyrics tell the story of a young boy who travels through his life, living in the footsteps of the man who gave the world the greatest gift he had: music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Choice, 7 Feb 2009
By Audrey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 3 and a half year old niece. It has been a great success. She loves the pictures and the simple yet beautiful words in this book. We all love reading this book to her and we all love looking for the little hidden clues that are in the book as well. This would be well worth the money even if you get more enjoyment out of it than the child!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who doesn't want to build a ladder to the stars & stay forever young?, 9 Sep 2009
By ELH Browning "Esther-Lou" (Kingston Bagpuize, Oxon) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
These classic song lyrics are brought to life in a book for children, imparting a beautiful and important message to a new generation. The words are lovely, as you'll know before you read given the provenance of the text, and the illustrations have a cool deliberate sixties look. There's an American flavour to the pictures which is entirely appropriate and isn't in the least over-bearing or off-putting for UK readers, and there's lots of classic things to point out to a child, like a VW beetle. In addition there are oodles of other things to spot as an adult which vary in their obvious link to Dylan and his lyrics but many of which are highlighted at the back of the book. For instance a little girl in one of the illustrations has a T-shirt the same as the one Bob Dylan wears on the cover of his Highway 61 Revisited album. It's a pleasure to read the song (or sing it) to children hearing it for the first time and as the book begins "May God bless you and keep you always..." so a rather lovely Christening gift from the more secular giver, perhaps?
