Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. won the world heavyweight championship
at the age of 22, the same year he joined the Nation of Islam and
changed his name to Muhammad Ali. He would go on to become the
first and only three-time (in succession) World Heavyweight
Champion. Nicknamed "The Greatest," Ali was as well known for his
unique boxing style, consisting of the Ali Shuffle and the
rope-a-dope, as he was for the catchphrase "float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee." He was an uncompromising athlete who brought
beauty and grace to a very rough sport and became one of the
world's most famous cultural icons. Read "Who Is Muhammad Ali?" and
discover "The Greatest."

In 1964, when Walt Disney and his brother Roy decided to build a
second theme park in the Florida swamplands, they kept it super
hush-hush. Why? Well, if word got out that they planned to buy up
lots of land, the price would have skyrocketed. So the Disneys
cleverly covered up their trail, avoiding the Orlando airport and
even using made-up names, like Walt and Roy Davis, for their
flights. The deception worked. In covering the history of the "Most
Magical Place On Earth," Joan Holub takes readers both behind the
scenes and underneath the park (there are secret employee-only
tunnels that form one big circle under the Magic Kingdom). Loaded
with fun facts, this book is a great companion to Who Was Walt
Disney?
