From AudioFile:
[Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with ELVIS THE ROOSTER ALMOST GOES TO HEAVEN.]--In these popular children's books, we meet Elvis, a proud and confident rooster. In the first book Elvis is brought low when it appears that the sun can rise without him; in the second he learns the power of "please" and "thank you" when dealing with others. Narrator Barbara Caruso does a terrific job creating the funny voices in these tales. She growls, gasps, crows, coughs, scoffs, and generally struts her vocal stuff in a way that does Elvis proud. Light sound effects and Caruso's steady, humorous narration make this a great choice for young readers, who will enjoy the illustrations as the story unfolds.

From School Library Journal:
Kindergarten-Grade Grade 3–Elvis is a macho rooster who, accustomed to being ruler of his roost, has a hard time appreciating the courtesy of his farm mates. However, when a Hollywood-type peacock who isnt afraid to bare his more feminine side comes to visit the farm, Elvis learns a valuable lesson in kindness—well almost. This fun beginning reader about etiquette written and illustrated by Denys Cazet (HarperTrophy, pap. 2004) is read by Barbara Caruso; the production would have fared better with a masculine voice for the brusque Elvis. However, Caruso lowers her gentle voice to a grumble for Elvis, and assumes a slight drawl for his peacock nemesis, Cluck Gable. Subtle sound effects and music add to telling.–Jennifer Verbrugge, Dakota County Library, Burnhaven Branch, Burnsville, MN
