Who Was Leonardo da Vinci? by Roberta Edwards,True Kelley

Who Was Leonardo da Vinci? by Roberta Edwards,True Kelley is I 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. The book made him sound more like a whiney artist that never finished anything and just bickered back and forth with Michelangelo. The book didn't really go beyond his painting and hardly talked about any of his other ideas. I just felt like this was a wasted opportunity.

Who Was Leonardo da Vinci? by Roberta Edwards,True Kelley is I used this book for students to study a person in history to write a report on. This was for a 4th grade classroom. Each student read the novel on their own and filled out a novel study that I created for non-fiction books. Students were able to follow the book with ease and understand what they were reading.There were several pictures to aid in understanding. There is also a timeline that helps students understand the timeline of events as they read. Very great resource.

Who Was Leonardo da Vinci? by Roberta Edwards,True Kelley is Got this for quick biography on him for 7th grade art docent . Quick read, good info, fun style, perfect. It was great also to show kids that even geniuses like Leonardo do have big humiliating failures and that just normal and that life goes on. Also like the childhood from "broken" family, helping to show kids that it is not kids who have it all easy who succeed, it's your own drive.

Who Was Leonardo da Vinci? by Roberta Edwards,True Kelley is These are great books. All of the Who Was books are excellent for young readers. My daughter gets very excited when she can teach us a little something about history and she seems to truly find things interesting. I think this is a great read for grades 3 and 4
