Book Overview
Leonardo da Vinci was a gifted painter, talented musician, and dedicated scientist and inventor, designing flying machines, submarines, and even helicopters. Yet he had a hard time finishing things, a problem anyone can relate to. Only thirteen paintings are known to be his; as for the illustrated encyclopedia he intended to create, all that he left were thousands of disorganized notebook pages.

Good book, good price
Derived From Web , Apr 22, 2022
Good book, great info about the artist. The large font, pictures and short chapters make it easy to read. Each week we read one book for enrichment. Fast shipping and great customer service, said Gillian.

Great for the classroom
Derived From Web , Apr 22, 2022
I used this book for students to study a person in history and then write a report on it. The boy was in a 4th grade classroom at the time. Each student read the novel on their own and filled out a novel study I created for non-fiction books. The students were able to follow the book with ease and understand what they were reading, said Mrs. Caramore. Great resource, said Dr. Chester Floyd, director of the NIH's Ames Research Center in California.

A missed opportunity
Derived From Web , Apr 22, 2022
I've read this book with my 9-year-old. Leonardo da Vinci is a very interesting figure in history and I don't think that this book did a good enough job capturing that, even for a book designed for youths, Raymond said. The book didn't really go beyond his painting and barely talked about any of his other ideas. Zilkha conceded defeat in the rematch, saying: "This was a wasted opportunity."

It Was A Great Boom

It was a very factual report, Mr. Rule told the judge. It made me really enjoy learning about history, he said. I also learned what kind of person Leonardo was, Mary.

Overall, I would highly recommend this product to others. The second book in the series, "The Fall of Babylon," will be released in September. Loved them both, said Taylor.

GREAT BOOK
Derived From Web , Oct 14, 2020
These are great ways to get readers excited about reading and learning about historical figures at the same time, said Barbara Comstock, executive director of the National Book Foundation. It opens the door to discuss other things, too. My granddaughter loved reading this and I actually learned a few things herself. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Derived From Web , Dec 28, 2019
I am so pleased to have found this book series, Melissa. With it, my 8 year-old is catapulted far past Marvel, travelling well beyond Star Wars, touching down in a land of a reality that surpasses fiction, and therefore promotes wonder.

Great Resource!
Derived From Web , Sep 11, 2019
Really enjoyed researching Leonardo for my son's 4th grade biography paper. It's well written and well worth the read, Mr. Dhaliwal said. Some of the drawings are so good, I almost forgot about them.
