Book First Edition
Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. Roca, Francois (illustrator). First edition, 1st Printing. *Starred Review* Muhammad Ali: Champion of the World begins not with Ali, but with Jack Johnson, the first African American heavyweight champion of the world, and then moves on to champions Joe Louis and Sonny Liston All were great in the ring, but as Winter has God ask: "Is that all there is to a boxer?" It is not, of course "There appeared a great man descending on a cloud, jump-roping into the Kingdom of Boxing," and Ali is portrayed running alongside a fifties Cadillac in a driving rain All of Ali's considerable charisma is vividly captured by Roca's oil paintingsâ "we see Ali both leading groups of people and facing off in the ring, and always he has that gleam in his eye that could be mischievous or turn malignant As it tells the story of Ali's career, culminating with his triumph in the Rumble in the Jungle, this book skillfully introduces young readers not only to Ali's career and life story but also to his significance "Muhammad Ali was a new kind of boxerâ "and a new kind of person," the kind of African American who is "proud, strong, willing to fight" Grades 3-6 --John Green.
