Did you know that Muhammad Ali was so terrified of flying on planes he
would bring a parachute? Or that he won the Presidential Medal of
Freedom? Bet you didn't know that he had an official sweat-taster to
determine how salty his sweat was after each match! Siblings Paige and
Turner do--and they've collected some of the most unusual and surprising
facts about the legendary boxer and civil rights activist, from his
childhood and the spark of his boxing career through his time as
heavyweight champion of the world.
Narrated by the two spirited siblings and animated by Allison
Steinfeld's upbeat illustrations, Muhammad Ali Was a Chicken! is an
authoritative, accessible, and one-of-a-kind biography infused with Dan
Gutman's signature zany sense of humor.
