Book Thoughts: Leonardo and the Flying Boy (Anholt)

  • follows a boy apprenticed to Leonardo Da Vinci
  • an inside look at many of Da Vinci’s interests and creations
  • convo: a naughty boy is called a “Little Devil”

Type: biographical picture book
Ages: 5-10
Author: Laurence Anholt

The author shares more information in the back that brings Da Vinci’s story that much more to life. The above-mentioned apprentice was a real person as well as the naughty boy (whose death is noted in this additional page).

My children and I have read a number of Anholt’s books and have enjoyed each one. His illustrations are great! Have you ever read one of his artist biographies?
