These companion books are very well written. This one was his favorite, I think because it has a more personal and biographical side to it. They don't create the same excitement level as the fiction stories but the history lessons are encompassing enough that our son has been able to teach us a few things about Italy, da Vinci, and life in his time. Now our son wants to visit Venice to see where he lived, this raising of curiosity is enough for me to recommend the book. He also read through cover to cover, which can be tough for six year olds when it comes to non-fiction (fiction tends to flow better, so he always reads those straight through). The author has really hit on a winning formula for making book-learning fun for younger children.
The Magic Treehouse non-fiction “fact tracker” companion series make awesome fact guides for beginning research projects or expanding further knowledge. We loved reading this one about Leonardo da Vinci during our study about the "Father of the Renaissance."
I have a three and five year old girls and this is the best series going. It is appropriate for the Kindergardener and we have read every single book. Each book in the series is give or take 100 pages but it is a quick and easy read. In reading the books your kids not only get a great story but also pick up on a little history which can lead to some great discussions. I actually read the books with my ipad close by so I can google pictures of the things/places that Jack and Annie (the brother and sister in the books) visit or see. I would recommend these books for every parent/child. When I am done I will be donating the entire set to the local library. Regarding pricing, if your intent is to read the entire series look for don't buy the four book package or single books. There are set of 1-28 and I think there is a set that is everything published 1-48. As with most things, if you buy the whole set you save siginificant money!
Bought this book and "Monday with a Mad Genius" for my boy as a surprise for summer camp. He told me he enjoyed both, since this one tells the facts about Da Vinci's ideas. Simple reading and encourages the investigative side of him.
This is such a wonderful series. My daughter loves non-fiction and she has almost read every non-fiction book in this series. Well written and great pictures. The Kindle version lets you get a close up of the pictures which my daughter loves!
This is an excellent book about the life of Leonardo da Vinci. It gave information about his early years that was unknown to most people and it was an up lifting book.
There are several of the Magic Tree House books. They are a great learning tool. I purchased them as a gift for my son - he is a special education teacher and he uses these books for his class.;
These are simple, but they contain a fair amount of information. Interesting for kids. I'm not as crazy about the Magic Treehouse stories, but I really like the research guides.
