Neo Leo: The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo da Vinci by Gene Barretta


Barretta, Gene Neo Leo: The Ageless Ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, Henry Holt, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. $16.99. Using colorful illustrations, copies of Leonardo’s original works and writing and just enough text, Barretta looks at Leonardo’s ideas and how they inspired, pre-dated and created many of the wonderful inventions we take for granted each day. What Baretta did for Benjamin Franklin he has also done for Leo – and done it very well. Make sure you have both books in your library! EL – ESSENTIAL. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
