Neo Leo The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo di Vinci



Neo Leo The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo di Vinci by Gene Barretta

Leonardo invented the first movie, put the candle in the box and the picture comes out. He might have designed a bicycle. There are old fashioned bicycles in the pictures. He designed a helicopter. I wish I went to his house. I love the part about steam. I think other kids would like this book.
