About the Book

ABOUT 'SMART READS for Kids'..."Love Art, Love Learning"

Welcome. Designed to expand and inspire young minds; this is a range of short educational books for ages 7+. Although one great artist's (and in this case scientist's) life and work are always the central theme, wider learning is encouraged as follows:

  • Geography & History. Locations or events mentioned are always accompanied by a colorful map or a snippet of history.
  • Vocabulary. A manageable number of new words are introduced and reused. They are always in bold with clear definitions and pronunciations. There is also a Glossary.
  • Math. At least one math statement and its accompanying calculation is always included.
  • Concentration. Each book is in the friendly first person and a trail of footprints always leads to a cartoon animal at the end. The author asks questions of the reader and there is always a quiz. These features keep kids engaged and encourage them to form their own opinions. There is a high ratio of images to text.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Da Vinci was of course far more than a great artist. The full story of his life is covered. Children will encounter all of da Vinci's most famous paintings and drawings; no child will fail to be inspired. Includes:
  • An account of everyday Renaissance Italy with its tyrannous leaders.
  • The historically precocious and inquisitive nature of Leonardo's mind.
  • His inventions.
  • The story of his secret mirror writing (an opportunity to learn about shapes with symmetry).
  • the mysteries of the Mona Lisa.
There's also a simple recipe for Renaissance paint and some dragon hunting!
