This is a wonderful book an out Lebron James. perfect for young children. Just enough text to tell the story with engaging pictures. A great book for , adults and children. I highly recommend.

Baby Biographies: LeBron James – My Baby’s Introduction to the Basketball Legend by Matthew Doucet is a visually striking picture book with illustrations that are truly outstanding. The artwork is colorful, expressive, and clearly designed to appeal to very young children. Based on the title and the visual style, it gives the impression that the book is meant for babies or toddlers.
However, the language used throughout the text feels out of step with that audience. Words like "athleticism," "unselfishness," "cemented," "rejected," and "unparalleled" make it difficult to understand who the book is really for. While it may be intended for parents to read aloud, the vocabulary is complex and not well suited for the youngest listeners. The mixed signals between the art and the writing create confusion about the book’s purpose. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars, largely due to the high quality of the illustrations. I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and Cider Mill Press.

I LOVE this series!!! Every book is SO cute!!! I learnt more than I knew as an adult and I am certain these would be great to inspire any kid. I will be buying this for my baby nephew! I love the artwork!

This well-illustrated and engaging book is an excellent choice for young readers, particularly those with an interest in sports. It highlights LeBron James’s remarkable 22-season NBA career, emphasizing his perseverance and the impact he has made on and off the court. A valuable addition to any classroom library and a thoughtful gift for sports-loving families.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advance copy.

Thank you to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for providing an e-ARC.

I'm not a big NBA fan but I found this so enjoyable to read and flick through. The illustrations are super vibrant and I think any sports-mad kid would love reading this. I had no idea how big of a deal LeBron James really was throughout his career so I learned a lot too! This is ultimately a story of hope, perseverance and taking chances, and I think it will be inspiring for a lot of young people.

This engaging biography of LeBron James is a fantastic read for young readers. The colorful, detailed illustrations bring his story to life, while the writing is thoughtfully organized and broken into digestible sections perfect for younger children. It’s an inspiring and accessible introduction to one of basketball’s greatest stars. This book would make a wonderful addition to any classroom library or a great gift for sports-loving families.

A very fun and colorful book about LeBron James, his life and the amazing accolades he's achieved in his sport. The text by Matthew Doucet is not overwhelming, and is fun and engaging to know about the athlete. Nichola Cowdery's illustrations are super fun to look at, with lots of details, many different active poses and so many colors! Overall, this is a very pretty and beautifully presented book!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The pictures in this book were very cute. I enjoyed the illustrations a lot. I did not know anything about Lebron James previously. This was a good informative introduction for me.

This was so cute! I went in as a person who knew the bare minimum about Lebron and I feel like I learned SO MUCH! And the illustrations are absolutely to die for, it made reading the biography so fun!

I read this to my son who is 3 years old. He loves all things sports and all these books about athletes. he loved the pictures throughout the book the most, probably looked at them 10 times. The information was great as well. I don’t really know much about basketball at all, so it was an interesting read for me and over all I learned fun facts about LeBron.

A really cute little book. Enjoyed reading it to my baby son. I learned a lot about LeBron I didn’t know before, so it was interesting to learn some of his history.

Any adult who loves basketball may want to introduce a very young child to the legendary LeBron James. This cute board book offers one nice way to do just that. It is part of a series of Baby Biographies published by the Cider Mill Press (you can look for other titles).
The pictures in this book are vibrant and colorful and could appeal to a baby or toddler. The text may take a bit more growing up first, making this a book that may be picked up over a period of time.
Both adults and kids will learn a lot about LeBron here.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

This book has great illustrations, easy to read graphics and a great story about the king of modern day basketball. The baby biography books are a great series.

This is perfect! My daughter has recently started her reading journey, so I have added a few books to my ipad mini for her to read on kindle when on the go. She loves them! This one is one of my husbands favorite to read with her!
