ABOUT 'SMART READS for Kids'..."Love Art, Love Learning"
Welcome. Designed to expand and inspire young minds; this is a range of short educational eBooks (with supporting free online resources) 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 so that the opportunity to learn some general knowledge doesn't pass the young reader by. [All color images are large and high quality. GRAYSCALE READERS ARE CATERED FOR, see below].
* 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 journey of his life is covered including: 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 (which provides an opportunity to learn a little about shapes with symmetry) and the mysteries of the Mona Lisa. There's also a simple recipe for Renaissance paint and some dragon hunting!
On this journey children will encounter all of da Vinci's most famous paintings and drawings---no child will fail to be inspired.

Locations Mapped: Present day and Renaissance Italy, Greece, France and The Ottoman Empire.
Paintings & Drawings: 30 including: The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Vitruvian Man, sketches of flying, hydraulic and combat machines, The Baptism of Christ, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, The Virgin & Child with St. Anne and John the Baptist.
Vocabulary Defined: Anatomy, Apprenticeship, Baptism, Blood Vessels, Catapult , Circa, City state, Curiosity, Engineer, Euro, Genius, Infinite, Luxuries, Observe, Obsessed, Orbit, Polymath, Renaissance, Ridiculous & Symmetry.
