In these three-dimensional, movable pictures the inventive and artistic genius of Leonardo da Vinci comes excitingly to life.
Birds flutter across the page as Leonardo experiments with flight; a brilliant panorama of the heavens displays his discoveries about the stars and planets; from his delicate botanical and anatomical drawings to his world-famous painting of the Mona Lisa. Leonardo's art is seen as never before. In this stunning book Caldecott Award-winning artists Alice and Martin Provensen beautifully evoke fifteenth-century Florence, as the fascinating activities on each page delight and instruct readers of every age.
