As a huge fan of Michelangelo, I loved this book. It gives some background information about Michelangelo, telling about his life and his art, while elegantly displaying his works. This is a great book to introduce when teaching about famous artists, or talking about the Renaissance. Michelangelo always said that he wasn't a painter, but the Sistine Chapel proves otherwise. His art work is so amazing and I think that children need to be introduced to all types of art. ( )
