Michelangelo

My son read this book in 2nd grade for a biography book report on Michelangelo. He and I loved it so much, we'd refer to it often, and would remember it whenever a Michelangelo moment arose. His 8th grade class (and some parents) visited Italy and again, we were able to appreciate the art on a different level thanks to our experience with this book. We bought ourselves a copy after returning home as well as a copy for the teacher that organizes the Italy trip for the school each year. The teacher plans to use it throughout the middle school curriculum to help kids get a better understanding of the Great Master and what all he created.I thought the book artwork, with Michelangelo juxtaposed as if during the creation process, was superb. The story was quite thorough and well told, at a level that both kids and adults could enjoy.

The book is lovely and well written, but too old for the child I bought it for. I would recommend it for children in upper elementary school.

The book came in good condition and in a timely manner.

We are using this book as part of our homeschool studies. It is large, and full of absolutely beautiful illustrations. The text is also wonderful. My daughter is fascinated as she learns about Michelangelo. We read a new page or two a week, and she always looks forward to it. Diane Stanley did a wonderful job writing a biography about someone who lived very long ago, who was very important, and made it interesting for children. Perfect!

Good condition

Want to thank the seller for such a wonderful book, it’s more than what I expected.Thank you
