Title: Leonardo Da Vinci for Kids : His Life and Ideas.
Review: This book was selected as a biography for a 5th grader. Both my child and I felt the book was too cluttered with side bars of historical events and distracting projects. Trying to find information about Da Vinci's life proved elusive. There was no infomation on his childhood, but most glaringly was the lack of information about his skills as a mathematician or astromner. The focus was on his artistic ability, yet there were few pictures of his most famous works. The book did provide infomation, but in a rather boring and cluttered manner. This book is satisfactory as secondary reference. My child, an avid reader, did not enjoy this book. He said it was not for kids.
