  • Muhammad Ali

    Terry Barber

    (Grass Roots Press, Sept. 1, 2007)
    Muhammad Ali is specifically written to meet the needs of adolescents and adults who are reluctant readers. The photographs, maps, and illustrations reflect the text, making the words easy to decode. This high-interest, low-vocabulary biography is ideal for English as a Second Language or adult basic education students. Muhammad Ali (1942-2016) brought unprecedented speed and grace to the sport of boxing. The phrase “floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee” comes to mind when we think of Ali. Sports Illustrated named him "Sportsman of the Century." In 2005, he received the United States of America's highest civil award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Jeff Gordon, sportswriter for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, through interviews with Chris discusses some of the problems and pressures an elite hockey player faces.

Sport Snaps books all contain hockey tips for kids, game-day routine and an assessment of the player by Coach Joel Quenneville.
