I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Another fantastic installment in the Little people, BIG DREAMS series.
This series is such a fantastic idea for children to encourage them to make a difference in the world through learning about people who started out little like them but went on to do and achieve great things.

I love this series, and this is another good one. Even though these books are about famous people, I always learn something; and I appreciate getting to see their life through the vantage point of their childhood.

I really liked this book. I do wish the book had specified what some of Muhammad Ali's activism outside the ring was. It was mentioned several times but no details about what his efforts were. Overall though it was a great read with the kids and a good starting point for us to discuss his activism and other aspects of this life.

Unfortunately I didn't love this board book edition in comparison to the regular one but still love the art style used in the series.

I love this series. The illustrations are always great and they give good information without being too much. I really like reading these books at night with my son and think they would also be good for older students.

My First Muhammad Ali is a new biography for the youngest babies to toddlers in the Little People, Big Dreams series. I've reviewed a number of these titles and all of them are delightful and exuberant little books which cover the lives of famous cultural, science, arts, and innovation icons while maintaining an age-appropriate level of detail. Due out 4th Feb 2020 from Quarto on their Frances Lincoln Childrens imprint, it'll be 32 pages and will be available in boardbook format.

Written by Isabel Sánchez Vegara it's well written in clear accessible language. The gentle and sweetly humorous slightly cartoonish illustrations are brightly colored and well done. The art by Brosmind is appealing and colorful and supports the text well. The illustrations are rich in small details which invite a closer look.

Well written and appealing, I am really enjoying all of these little books. This one is a worthy addition. It would make a lovely read-along for even the youngest babies. The boardbook format is sturdy and robust enough for babies to toddlers.

Five stars.

This is another great book to add to the Little People, Big Dreams collection!

I love this series as they are perfect introductions to young people about some of the most famous and influential people from our past.

4 stars from me for this one, very highly recommended and can't wait for my daughter to get involved in the series!!

This book was okay and is a nice addition to the series. Although, in comparison to some of the other books in the series, I felt like this one was a little light on information. Nonetheless, it was still well written and interesting with beautiful illustrations.

I use to love these books and thought they were such a good idea to get children interested in prominent figures.
But they are so short now and do not offer anything that would grab a child attention or interest.

I'm starting to feel let down by these books.

This is further evidence for me that this ultra-basic, pre-school series of biographies does not work. The artwork is awful in this one, for one thing, which I believe to have been brought across from the companion book for older readers – some people get eyeballs, some don't; everything looks completely cartoonish and not in keeping with the man or his times. But we're told so little, and chances are the adult sharing this with their infant will not know enough to fill in the many gaps. Forget the "war far away" comment, which is just a fudge – we're also told Clay/Ali "defended justice and people's rights" and liked to generally "help others", but we're never once told how. Was he a lawyer, was he a vigilante, did he write letters to the President? I know he jabbered a lot on talk shows, but even I need to know more. A simple book for inquisitive young minds could and would convey the truth, but this stripping back to 'a life in under a hundred words' proves once again to be completely unable to tell a proper story. One and a half stars.

Il ritratto di un campione, che fu campione non solo sul ring ma anche nella scelta di opporsi a una guerra, quella del Vietnam, che riteneva ingiusta, perdendo la sua posizione e la stima di molti. ma non il rispetto di se stesso e di quello in cui credeva.

Il primo volume al maschile di questa meravigliosa serie è dedicato a Muhammad Ali, nato Cassius Clay; e non potevo non appropriarmene immediatamente.

Mio padre, da piccola, mi raccontava la storia della boxe, e anche se non ho mai visto un incontro, né dal vivo, né in tv, conosco l’incontro di Kinshasa come se avessi assistito dagli spalti.

Un grande atleta, e un ricordo caro: come non tenermi caro questo volume?
