Nothing but a Hounddog - by Evan

I think this is a cool song. My brother used to always sing it, so now it sometimes gets stuck in my head. I used to hear it a lot in Kids Club also. Here is the website for the video. I also found some pictures and info of Elvis and Graceland by clicking here. I think Graceland is really cool because it’s huge and it kind of looks like the white house in front.

Elvis - by Katie

I really like the Elvis Presley Jail House Rock song. I really like the dancing. Have you ever been to his house? It is just amazing. I really like his jungle room. It has a chimney, but instead it is a mini waterfall. But most of all I love his downstairs room. It is all blue and yellow just like lightning bolts. That is what it was ment to be. I would like to go back there some day.

Funky Forest

I found this while surfing the net this morning. It's an art installation that was created for the 2007 Cinekid Festival in the Netherlands by a woman named Emily Gobeille. She has her own website that you should also check out!

'Funky Forest' is an interactive ecosystem where children create trees with their body and then divert the water flowing from the waterfall to the trees to keep them alive. The health of the trees contributes to the overall health of the forest and the types of creatures that inhabit it.
