Becoming Muhammed Ali by James Patterson and Kwame Alexander


Becoming Muhammed Ali by James Patterson and Kwame Alexander is all about how Ali became a boxer and how his everyday life was. It talks about who Muhammed was during his childhood and all he had to go through. It also talks about most of his boxing fights and the outcomes at a young and old age.


I personally liked the book and thought it was different from most books because some pages are poems. And I liked it because I thought it was only going to be about his professional boxing career but turned out to be about his whole life. It also talked about his training and dedication which helped me out and gave me motivation.

This book reminds me about my boxing career, mostly because I started around the same age as him or because I do a lot of the same things that he did. It also reminds me of many other boxers. They all had around the same routine but there's a difference: he didn't give up and didn’t take breaks and he dedicated his life to boxing.

Becoming Muhammad Ali by James Patterson and Kwame Alexander is about how Muhammad Ali worked hard to become a boxer. His life was hard before he became a boxer and he had to work hard. He was always interested in why he was different from white people. His grandad told him stories about how black people were segregated. Muhammad was always training hard to become a boxer.


I like this story because I like to work hard on whatever I set my mind on. I like to get stronger and faster. Just like him. I have watched boxing movies since I was six years old. Ali worked hard to achieve his goal. I had to do this when I did gymnastics.

Who Was John F. Kennedy? by Yona Zeldis McDonough

I like Who Was John F. Kennedy? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, because it tells the life of president John F. Kennedy! It talks about his early life, accomplishments and sad death. You will also learn about his mom, dad and wife. JFK has experiences as a war hero, President, representative and Congressman.

The book is great, but if you read it for yourself it's even better. The number one reason I like it is, it is both sad and happy. The book talks about JFK’s accomplishments and the death of his loved ones.

Who is Stevie Wonder? by Jim Gigliotti

       Who is Stevie Wonder? by Jim Gigliotti is a great book. The book starts off telling you about Stevie’s life when he was a kid. He was born 6 weeks early and was blind because of it. Although he was blind, he had an amazing sense of hearing, and a great gift of music. Stevie played bongo drums in his crib. Stevie could identify a coin just by the sound of one. At a young age, Stevie moved to Detroit, and auditioned for being a part of Motown. Stevie made it and soon became Little Stevie Wonder. When he became a teenager, he took off little, and became Stevie Wonder. Since then Stevie has made many hits. He has had an interesting life. I guess you'll have to read the book to find out about it.
I like this book because Stevie Wonder is my favorite musician. This book is my favorite of the Who is/Was book series. Stevie Wonder is famous for his music, and I love music just like him. He is blind, and that inspired me to start playing music. He is a great person and  has done many charitable things. He is named a United Nations messenger of peace. He is a very inspiring person to kids all over the world, and almost everybody has a favorite Stevie Wonder song.
