Reviews
"It's completely worth your money... Michelangelo for Kids is entertaining and is exactly the sort of nonfiction book I would have picked up when I was 9 or 10. Though written for children, adults will enjoy it, too. It would be a great coffee table book for art and history enthusiasts alike." --Cracking the Cover, "From cover-to-cover, Michelangelo for Kids is an enlightened celebration of the Renaissance. It has all the attributes for a book of significant influence among children." --PRIMO , "There is a vast amount of information here, and readers will come away with a clear sense of who Michelangelo was as a person." -- School Library Connection, "To understand the term Renaissance man , one need only read this biography of Michelangelo." -- Booklist, " Michelangelo for Kids is filled with a wealth of information and would make for a very in-depth unit study of the famous artist, architect, sculptor, painter, engineer, teacher/mentor, poet, and genius." -- The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, "There is a vast amount of information here, and readers will come away with a clear sense of who Michelangelo was as a person." -- School Library Connection , "From cover-to-cover, Michelangelo for Kids is an enlightened celebration of the Renaissance. It has all the attributes for a book of significant influence among children." --PRIMO, "A thoughtfully written, readily accessible, and beautifully illustrated immersion in the life of this extraordinary artist." --All About the Books with Janet Squires, "This intelligently written, comprehensive, and fascinating account of the Renaissance icon's life, art, personal and professional relationships, and prickly personality and the ways in which he navigated the religious and political upheavals of his time are handled smoothly and with sophisticated language." -- School Library Journal, "I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good way to teach their kids about Michelangelo, the Renaissance, or art history." --Batch of Books

Synopsis
Michelangelo Buonarroti--known simply as Michelangelo--has been called the greatest artist who has ever lived. His impressive masterpieces astonished his contemporaries and remain some of today's most famous artworks. Young readers will come to know Michelangelo the man as well as the artistic giant, following his life from his childhood in rural Italy to his emergence as a rather egotistical teenager to a humble and caring old man. They'll learn that he did exhausting, back-breaking labor to create his art yet worked well, even with humor, with others in the stone quarry and in his workshop. Michelangelo for Kids offers an in-depth look at his life, ideas, and accomplishments, while providing a fascinating view of the Italian Renaissance and how it shaped and affected his work. Budding artists will come to appreciate Michelangelo's techniques and understand exactly what made his work so great. Twenty-one creative, fun, hands-on activities illuminate Michelangelo's various artistic mediums as well as the era in which he lived. Kids can: make homemade paint, learn the cross-hatching technique used by Michelangelo, make an antique statue, build a model fortification, compose a Renaissance-style poem, and much more.

    Brand new book having the author's signature (as advertised) at a very favorable, discounted price, with a Brodart-protected dust jacket. The book was very well packaged (in a box) to ensure that it arrived in pristine condition, which it did. I am tremendously pleased with this purchase, and I would not hesitate to make more purchases from this seller. Highly recommended!
