I really enjoyed reading this biography. I didn't really know who Charles Atlas was. I liked ready about his life and I love how the author made it a motivational book for those reading it too. As it exaplined his life, the author told about how he worked hard for what he did and how he encouraged others. This is a wonderful book. I also like how it gives come exercises in the back of the book that children can do.

This is a great informative biography of Charles Atlas who was an Italian immigrant of the early 20th century. He created the world famous exercise program. He wasn't always that muscular though! This is a great inspirational story for anybody!

I LOVED this book. I liked what I learned about Charles Atlas. I liked what I learned about the world during this time period, and most of all, we all REALLY liked the illustrations. I find that most children's book biographies have all the information I really want to know about any given person! Great book!
