Summary: A biography of the Renaissance artist, illustrated with reproductions of his work.
Strengths: The illustrations are detailed which describe the text on the page. It does a good job at projecting the information and the titles explain what the select passage details out.
Concerns: Some pages are too busy-there is too much going on whether it is many pictures or more text or both. Some of the illustrations are not suitable for young eyes to view such as Michelangelo's David and other statues.
Age level: Upper (5-6)
Classroom Use: To teach children about Michelangelo and his life and paintings. To learn about Italian art as well and the importance of the Rennaissance period.
