The king of rock-and-roll's #1 hit song "Love Me Tender" is now an endearing picture book

Adapted from the unforgettable classic song, Elvis Presley's Love MeTender is a heartwarming ode to the special bond between children and the adults who love and care for them--be they parents, grandparents, adoptive parents, aunts, uncles, or guardians. With its simple, timeless message, Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender is destined to join Guess How Much I Love You as a baby shower staple.  And the sweet, inclusive illustrations make it a book every family will treasure "all through the years, 'till the end of time."

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Toddler-PreS—Paired with Presley's original lyrics, Graegin's illustrations tell the stories of four families welcoming new babies and celebrating the first few years of life. The pencil-and-watercolor artwork begins with diverse families gathered outside a hospital nursery window peering adoringly at their bundle (or bundles) of joy and the words "Love me tender." All of the families take their babies home to cuddle, love, and celebrate life, right up until they walk their now-preschoolers to Graceland Preschool. Many other nods to Presley and music are worked into the artwork—from a mother dancing with her baby, to toy musical instruments, to a record player presumably playing an Elvis album. Even the endpapers show toddlers singing, dancing, and playing instruments. An endnote from Priscilla Presley is included. VERDICT Best enjoyed sung one-on-one with the very young.—Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA

About the Author

Elvis Presley was an internationally recognized and beloved singer and performer during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Over the course of his career, Elvis was nominated for 14 Grammys (3 wins) and sold over a billion records world-wide, more than any other artist. At the age of 36, Elvis received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 1970 he was named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation by the United States Jaycees. In addition to his musical accolades, Elvis also starred in 33 films and made numerous television appearances. Elvis died at his home in Memphis on August 16, 1977.  Today, he is regarded as the king of rock-and-roll and one of the most influential pop culture figures of the 20th century.

Stephanie Graegin spent her childhood drawing and collecting fauna in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Houston, Texas. She received her BFA in Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her MFA in Printmaking from the Pratt Institute. Stephanie now lives in Brooklyn, is still drawing, and has managed to keep her collection down to one orange cat.

Purchased this for our baby grand daughter who lives out of state as a momento for visits to our home in the Memphis area. This is a beautifully illustrated and creative story based on Elvis's famous hit song. She is now 4 and it was heart warming to see her interest & enjoy as I sang the story to her at bed time. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful precious song but only printed part of it
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2022

That song is so sweetly written with so much adoration. When you hear that Ken Darby wrote this with his wife Vera Matson Darby in mind. Well that just makes it sweeter. In Hollywood where people in the film industry change spouses often. Ken and Vera’s love lasted a lifetime and beyond. They are buried together at Forest LAwn. He put the song under Vera’s name and gave her all the credit. She said she loved going to the bank to cash checks from Elvis Presley. The only thing bad about this book is that it does not use the whole song. It would be nice to be able to sing the whole sweet song to the precious ones in your life.

Book is the actually lyrics of the song. Our little one loves books that are songs, it makes it easier to read and has added developmental benefits. The illustrations start with babies born and they grow to be heading to preschool. The illustrations are nice and has inclusive diverse families that are mixed ethnicities and sexual orientation. Would make a beautiful gift! Love love love!
