Product Description
As a boy, Leonardo was apprenticed to a famous artist. But he quickly became more skillful than his teacher, and his passionate interests went far beyond art. Fascinated with the human body, he carried out his own experiments in secret.
He filled thousands of pages with plans for incredible inventions including a submarine, an air-cooling system, glasses to see the moon larger, and even a flying machine!
Diane Stanley blends wonderful storytelling with gorgeous illustrations to convey the stunning scope of Leonardo da Vinci’s genius in a book that has won many awards and earned two starred reviews.
