Linking the time when karate was a strictly Okinawan art of self-defense shrouded in the deepest secrecy and the present day, when it has become a martial art practiced throughout the world, is Gichin Funakoshi, the 'Father of Karate-do.'
Out of modesty, he was reluctant to write this autobiography and did not do so until he was nearly ninety years of age. Trained in the Confucian classics, he was a schoolteacher early in life, but after decades of study under the foremost masters, he gave up his livelihood to devote the rest of his life to the propagation of the Way of Karate. Under his guidance, techniques and nomenclature were refined and modernized, the spiritual essence was brought to the fore, and karate evolved into a true martial art.
Various forms of empty-hand techniques have been practiced in Okinawa for centuries, but due to the lack of historical records, fancy often masquerades as fact. In telling of his own famous teachers--and not only of their mastery of technique but of the way they acted in critical situations--the author reveals what true karate is. The stories he tells about himself are no less instructive: his determination to continue the art, after having started it to improve his health; his perseverance in the face of difficulties, even of poverty; his strict observance of the way of life of the samurai; and the spirit of self-reliance that he carried into an old age kept healthy by his practice of Karate-do.
In the village of Liver-and-Onions, there was a Potato Face Blind Man who used to play an accordion on the corner near the post office. The sometime narrator of these tales, he transports readers and listeners to Rootabaga Country, where the railroad tracks go from straight to zigzag, the pigs wear bibs, and the Village of Cream Puffs floats in the wind, looking like a little hat that you could wear on the end of your thumb.
Carl Sandburg, the beloved folk chronicler and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, invented these stories for his own daughters. Populated by corn fairies, circus performers, and such memorable characters as Poker Face the Baboon, Hot Dog the Tiger, and Gimme the Ax, Rootabaga Country is built with the homespun poetry of the American frontier. The stories' inspired nonsense-loaded with rhythm, humor, and tongue-twisting names-fires the imagination and pulls at the heartstrings.

Dos historias originales, divertidas y muy muy tiernas, que harán reír a toda la familia.
Un domingo por la mañana, mi madre gritó:
- ¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UNA VACA EN LA NEVERA?!
Una enooorme aventura estaba a punto de comenzar.
Tan enorme como el corazón de vaca de Carola Quesodebola.
Y al siguiente domingo, apareció otra sorpresa... Mi madre me despertó gritando desde el baño:
-¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UN HIPOPÓTAMO EN LA BAÑERA?!
Mi cerebro pasó del descanso a la máxima actividad en un segundo, batiendo su propio record.
«Piensa, piensa, piensa...» pensé.
La lista de cosas metidas en sitios INCORRECTOS era bastante larga: medio bocadillo de mortadela en el fondo de la mochila (se me olvidó tirarlo a la basura el martes pasado); un calcetín de deporte en el acuario de peces tropicales de papá (mi intención era que cayera en el cesto de la ropa sucia pero me falló la puntería);dos dedos bastante limpios en el bote de la nata montada (¿quién es capaz de ver un bote de nata montada sin meter el dedo?)...
Sobre meter hipopótamos en bañeras no recordaba nada.

Readers will learn about Cassius' family and neighbors in Louisville, Kentucky, and how, after a thief stole his bike, Cassius began training as an amateur boxer at age twelve. Before long, he won his first Golden Gloves bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali.
Fully authorized by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad Ali estate, and vividly brought to life by Dawud Anyabwile's dynamic artwork, Becoming Muhammad Ali captures the budding charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports heroes of all time.
