This book also shows the inventors that got their ideas from da Vinci. It is a very colorful book that is great for capturing children's attention.So What: When I bought this book, I had gotten it to create a lesson plan off of. I truly enjoyed it! I have also used it when assessing my students. Now What: I would like to use this either in a text set of inventors or as part of a history lesson.
review 2: This is the fourth time I've read this book and it won't be the last. What a great way to introduce Leonardo DaVinci's brilliance to readers of any age. Even those who are aware of his various accomplishments ... morewill find surprises here in the details of his quirky habits and many unfulfilled creations. In addition, those who are credited with inventions that he originally conceived receive due attention and reference in the back matter. Colorful illustrations appeal but also clarify concepts. less
