Elvis and the Talent Show

Elvis Presley is the king of rock and roll. History knows Elvis the man, but little is known about his childhood. Follow young Elvis in this mostly true story when he was in the fourth grade and he entered a talent show at the state fair. Look for some of the king's song titles embedded in the story. Be there when Elvis learns a valuable lesson that winning isn't everything, and the only true losers are those that don't try. Elvis's day at the fair is filled with fun, a stomachache, and a little heartbreak. Spending the day with his mama and trying his best made this one of his favorite days of his young life, and it helped lead him on his path to what his true calling would be: to bring the gift of rock and roll to millions of adoring fans around the world.
