Muhammad Ali: My First Muhammad Ali

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 very well. The illustrations are rich in small subtle 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.
