This picture book splendidly combines a high-energy text which throws out rhymes, biblical cadences, exclamations and other declamatory flourishes with full-page and double-page paintings which portray all the charisma and physical grace of its subject: Muhammad Ali. The dramatic layout and graphics of the text echo the style of its hero, incorporating his own voice (and volume) into a narrative of the key events of his life in a manner which begs to be read aloud.
