Young Readers Get Satisfaction from Enslow's Rolling Stones, Madonna Biographies

Who says young readers "can't get no satisfaction" from reading? The release of Grrr! -- the Rolling Stones fresh collection of greatest hits -- has under-18 patrons demanding exciting material about this iconic band. To satisfy that need, you can offer them Enslow Publishers' biography of the Rolling Stones. Author Heather Miller explores the Stones' hardscrabble roots, initial leap to the big time, and development into a globally iconic band. The book's Guided Reading Level "X" text, full-color photographs, and pull-out quotes provide readers with exciting "ways in" to successfully start and finish this 112-page work.

The book would make a perfect companion for those libraries (and fans, let's face it) intending to purchase Grrr!, the Stones' fresh collection of greatest hits. The Rolling Stones, part of Enslow's "Rebels of Rock" series, is available in a library-bound edition directly from Enslow for $23.95; that represents a 25% school/library discount from Enslow's list price. A paperback edition of The Rolling Stones is also available for $9.95 from Enslow, major wholesalers, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.

Not to be outdone, Madonna is also conducting a breathless world tour, with tonight's performance in New York's Madison Square Garden among its highlights. Taking music library circulation data as a useful guide, we find the Material Girl remains a subject of curiosity to a new generation of music fans. That's why your young readers would enjoy checking out Enslow's biography of the branded pop star. Author Carol Gjonewski's age-appropriate, 160-page work delivers the essence of Madonna's rise to fame and continued aura. An exciting writing style and vivid photographs add value to fact-based work.

Library-bound editions of Madonna: "Express Yourself," included in our "American Rebels" series, are available directly from Enslow Publishers for $25.95; that price includes a 25% school/library discount.

The Rolling Stones to tour 2011-2012?

Being a huge Stones fan who has never seen them in concert, I am so excited to hear that they are thinking of their 50th anniversary "farewell tour" (okay, how many of these have they really had though? I think their first farewell tour was in 1970).

With Mick Jagger and Keith Richards pushing 70, this tour really has got to be it. Drummer Charlie Watts explains that a tour is in the works in this article.

Before the tour, it might be a good idea to pick up Enslow's newest title in the Rebels of Rock series, The Rolling Stones: The Greatest Rock Band and learn more about the band. This book is also available in paperback!

Happy Birthday (one day late) to Mick Jagger!
