Who Was Michael Jackson? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Born in Gary, Indiana, on August 29, 1958, Michael Jackson was definitely not a regular kid. A superstar with The Jackson 5 before he was eight years old, he became the King of Pop as a solo artist. Michael was a creative--yet deeply troubled--genius who always remained devoted to his art right up until his death is 2009 before a much anticipated tour. He had a pitch-perfect voice and footwork that his idol Fred Astaire admired. Who will ever forget the Moonwalk? Kids today who only know Jackson through video performances are nevertheless fascinated by him. Megan Stine provides a sensitive, fair-minded depiction of this unique music legend.

It is a good synopsis of Michael's life. I am a huge Michael fan and my son was eager to get this book and learn more about him as he loves his music. My son is also a huge fan of the "Who Was..." books so this seemed like a great addition to the ones he has already read. After reading it myself I decided to wait a few more years before I let my son read it. Parents should know that this book does discuss the molestation accusations that were made against him. If you are not ready to discuss this topic with your children, this is not the book for your kid/s (this is why I gave it 3 stars). Otherwise great book and nice illustrations.
I like Michael Jackson because of the beautiful voice he had but this book taught me more about my friend I didn't know that his "doctor" was put in prison. It reminded me of the day Michael Jackson King Of Pop died it reminded me of his funeral his Paris, Prince 1, and Prince 2 were so upset like the rest of the world but I've never seen anybody so upset
It's a very easy read for kids....however, it talks about drug abuse, having children out of wedlock, getting married for the sake of having said children...I'm not sure it's age appropriate despite being a book a first grader could read.
Bought it for my daughter who is a HUIGE Michael Jackson fan, loves all his songs and videos and dances along with them all so this was a great book to learn a little bit more about him - WITHOUT using the computer!

I love or loved Michael Jackson so much he was total amazing i loved the book so much and it taught me so much about him that i didn't know about him he was truly the king of pop and can't ever be replaced he will always be the king of pop once and forever he will be missed this bool will give kids hope and deams and will teach them to be determined and to keep going nomattet what happens i loved this book Michel Jackson will always be missed.
The biography is complete and interesting for young learners. I bought them for students who learn English as a second language and they are suitable for them.
I bought this for my 7 year old grandson and he loves it. He has probably read it 3 times over. He is constantly sharing MJ facts with us.
