Leonardo da Vinci for Kids: His Life and Ideas, 21 Activities

My son paged through it and reports that he wants more science & technology activities... after all, the cool thing about da Vinci, as opposed to so many other artists, is that he had those sketches of inventions & contraptions... and lots of kids who otherwise don't much read or like art do love contraptions. Save the art activities for a companion book on Michelangelo or Picasso....

He's not wrong. Very confusing book. Lots of biographical texts, and pictures. Superficial introduction to art appreciation. Activities usually either too hard or too lame for the target audience... oh, wait, who is the target audience? Design is an oversize paperback, hard to hold, hard to read, with activities and sidebars mixed up together with text show more on almost every page. I kinda liked the 'riddles' and the recipe for anise sweets. show less
