Leonardo da Vinci's life is characterized by his experiments, his artwork, his studies, his discoveries, and his inventions. This pop-up book creates emphasis on his creations; the Mona Lisa, flying machines, and studies of the sun and earth.
Even though this book is advanced for Kindergartners, I would use this book as a read aloud. This is a fun way to introduce historical figures, the pop-up pages engages the reader and encourages or stimulates thinking. Students could also use this book to recreate their own versions of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions.
