Muhammad Ali Was a Chicken?

Muhammad Ali was so terrified of flying on planes, he carried a parachute!

He never read a book--not even his own autobiography!

And he had an official taster to determine how salty his sweat was after each bout!

Wait! What?

Siblings Paige and Turner have collected some of the wackiest and most surprising facts about the legendary boxer and antiwar activist, from his childhood and the spark of his boxing career through his three heavyweight championships and beyond.

Narrated by the two spirited siblings and animated by Allison Steinfeld's upbeat illustrations, Wait! What? Muhammad Ali Was a Chicken? is an authoritative, accessible, and one-of-a-kind biography infused with Dan Gutman's signature zany sense of humor.
