ABOUT ‘SMART READS for Kids’...”Love Art, Love Learning”Welcome. Designed to expand & inspire young minds; this is a range of short educational eBooks (with supporting free online resources) for ages 7+. Although one great artist’s (& in this case scientist’s) life & work are always the central theme, wider learning is encouraged as follows:• Geography & History. Locations or events mentioned are always accompanied by a colourful map or a snippet of history so that the opportunity to learn some general knowledge doesn't pass the young reader by. [All colour images are large & high quality. GREYSCALE READERS ARE CATERED FOR, see below].• Vocabulary. A manageable number of new words are introduced & reused. They are always in bold with clear definitions & pronunciations. There is also a Glossary.• Maths. At least one maths statement & its accompanying calculation is always included.• Concentration. Each book is in the friendly first person & a trail of footprints always leads to a cartoon animal at the end. The author asks questions of the reader & there is always a quiz. These features keep kids engaged & encourage them to form their own opinions. There is a high ratio of images to text.ABOUT THIS BOOKDa 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 & 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) & the mysteries of the Mona Lisa.
