Who Was Muhammad Ali? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. won the world heavyweight championship at the age of 22, the same year he joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. He would go on to become the first and only three-time (in succession) World Heavyweight Champion. Nicknamed “The Greatest,” Ali was as well known for his unique boxing style, consisting of the Ali Shuffle and the rope-a-dope, as he was for the catchphrase “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” He was an uncompromising athlete who brought beauty and grace to a very rough sport and became one of the world’s most famous cultural icons. Read Who Was Muhammad Ali? and discover “The Greatest.”

My two grandsons love these type of books...one is 9 years old and the other one is 8 years old.They thoroughly enjoy them and gain a lot of knowledge about Who Is Who and What IS What! would definitely recommendthe purchase of these books.I
Wish you would include MORE biographies of important AFRICAN AMERICANS . . .. Muhammad Ali was a good man
good series of books about historical figure or event
love the book. I purchased it for a child who loves to read. they found the book to be fun and informative and thoroughly enjoyed it. I myself did not read it so i can not comment on the content.
This was one of two books that my 8 year old read this book for part of his research for his black history month project. Lots of great information.
Nice book for kids. Random and well known facts about my favorite boxer, bought to read to a 1st grade classroom and they enjoyed it.
Not enough detail. Very superficial. Had the potential for a great book. Had marginal interest of a great fighter. Disappointing.
Strictly a kid's book, or possibly a "must have" for the most ardent collectors of Ali memorabilia. There are more books in publication about Muhammad Ali than any other boxer in the history of the sport, and my guess is that there at least 100 that are more informative and better written... The nod here - don't bother with this book unless it's for your 3-5 year old child.
