Customer Reviews

Forever Young

This was a Christmas gift for my 2 1/2 month old grandson, who's father is a die hard Bob Dylan fan!! It was a hit with my son who will pass on his love for Dylan's music to my grandson. I was a very happy mom and grandmother!

Beautiful Illustrations and Message for young children

My 3 children are HUGE Beatles fans. I admit that I first bought the book because there is an illustration of the "Meet the Beatles" album on one of the pages. After really sitting down and reading the book, I am so thrilled to share it with my boys. The illustrations are stunning and hopefully will be inspiring to them as young artists! The message in the song lyrics is perfect. If you are looking for a message of peace and inspiration to give your children, this is it!

Not just for kids

Forever Young This is a wonderful book for children and adults! The illustrations are so creative, and for adults who are Dylan fans, just perfect....Enjoy this treasure!

Mr. Paul Roger's Neighborhood Forever Will be Young

Forever Young is Paul Roger's latest kids' book about the song Forever Young by Bob Dylan's 1972 album Planet Waves. It seems as of late Bob Dylan has found new fame and this book will introduce many kids to Bob's great body of work. Many will cringe at Bob's voice, however, his lyrical landscape of words have evoked many generations of writers and musicians. This brave step by Paul Rogers into kids' literature is a fresh approach on how Dylan's songs easily transcend into graphical interaction with kids. The art is reminiscent of beatnik art and a true send off to Dyaln who fancied himself as a Beatnik. This is one book you cannot afford to not flip through. You will have to buy it after reading it.

Unbridled Excellence

As a rabid Bob Dylan fan, it was important to share my love of his work with my children. I feel so lucky to have found this book! The illustrations are brilliantly executed and richly textured, suiting the lyrical content of the book perfectly. My kids can't get enough of it, and love to look at the pictures while I play the song for them on vinyl. This book is a wonderful way to bridge generations and an easy, fun bedtime tuck-in book. I highly recommend it!
