This is a great way to show a youngster that in addition to being the Greatest Of All Time that he was (and is) one of the most influential, courages and important figure of the 1960's and up - It gently shows and explains the race issues of the 60's without overwhelming a child or blasting it in their face - it's very difficult for a kid these days to understand that as little as 40 years ago (which is actually life times to a kid) that if you were black then you had to sit at the back of the bus - or couldn't drink from certain water fountains or had to "know you're place" and how Muhammad Ali shattered that mold - I'm hoping that this actually creates a dialogue with parent and child - anyway - it shows Muhammad as the Champ both in and out of the ring. The book goes over some of the famous fights and rivalry's - from Liston to Frazier - once again I found myself excited about the blow by blows of these fights - no matter how many times I read it I'm just awe struck about the Rumble in the Jungle - I highly recommend this for any child as a great introduction to The Greatest Of All Time - Muhammad Ali! Review: Audio book for middle school students - I work as a guest teacher in several school districts. This is one of the books that the middle schools are reading. I got it so I can play the audio file for the students. They love it when I use technology to assist me with the classroom teacher's lesson plans. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #143,549 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Teen & Young Adult Social Activist Biographies #59 in Teen & Young Adult Sports Biographies #33,385 in Children's Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (204) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.5 x 7.5 inches | | Grade level | 7 - 6 | | ISBN-10 | 0590543431 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0590543439 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | The Greatest | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | December 1, 2001 | | Publisher | Scholastic Paperbacks | | Reading age | 12 years and up | ## Images ![The Greatest: Muhammad Ali (Scholastic Focus) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71A6gdS9E2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect For A 13 Year Old & Under *by T***S on August 14, 2003* This is a perfect book for a kid 14 or 13 years old and younger - it's a fantastic introduction to Muhammad Ali - I just bought it for my friends son - he's 12 - not that familiar with Muhammad Ali - just a basic knowledge of the myth and legend - he knows "Float Like a Butterfly - Sting Like A Bee!"

This is one of the books that the middle schools are reading. I got it so I can play the audio file for the students. They love it when I use technology to assist me with the classroom teacher's lesson plans. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book as an intro to Muhammad Ali *by J***R on April 11, 2014* Relatively simple book, but it's a great introduction for someone who is just learning about Ali, or as an intro to a more complete biography. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/219841-the-greatest-muhammad-ali-scholastic-focus](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/219841-the-greatest-muhammad-ali-scholastic-focus) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
