DK Biography: Pele: A Photographic Story of a Life Paperback – July 30, 2007

I bought this for my son because he had to do a report on a biography. This book must be excellent because I didn't have to coax him at all when it was time to read it. In fact he enjoyed it so much he wanted to read a passage to me. I'm looking forward to reading it when he is finished so we can discuss it. I think it's a great book for a child who likes soccer.

This is a good book for a 4th/5th grader. Lots of information in an easy to read format. We purchased this book for an autobiography book report my son had to do and he really enjoyed all the facts in the book and it was an easy read.

easy reading, well presented facts, interesting, realistic presentation of good times and challenges he faced. read it quickly before giving it to young reader for whom I had purchased it, who needed a biography to read for a book report.

Book was a Christmas gift that was a timely choice. Great book for my soccer loving 10 year old grandson.

Well-written book for kids with many pictures. I would recommend this book for kids in 5th-6th grade. It's a little long, but it is very comprehensive. My son used it for his "wax museum" project at school.

My 10 year old adopted son is half Brazilian and loves to play soccer. We enjoyed reading this very inspirational book together. He wanted to know why I was teary when we read the part about the last game Pele' played. The book brings out what an incredibly talented, persevering, and humble man he is--a great role model for kids. 5 star!

Perfect biography for my reluctant reader (9 years old)! Maintained his interest and challenged him appropriately!

My son is a huge soccer fan, and these books are the perfect reading level for a 3rd grader. Thank you!
