An odd, but very engaging and satisfying little book. In this picture book biography we are treated to a child's perspective (ten year old assistant Giacomo) of the great Leonardo da Vinci. This technique was used to great effect in The Extraordinary Mark Twain. And so I guess it's a more common...
Tale of Leonardo and his 10 year old servant, Giacomo. The text flows beautifully, including quotations, drawings and biographical information. Illustrations are magnificent and large. Like Giacomo, young readers will be inspired by Leonardo's curiosity and passion.
