We just purchased this second one for a birthday gift for a 9 year old . There are so many small and larger scale inventions to be made . A lot of the stuff you'll find that you already have on hand . Makes for inexpensive entertainment and great for family night . My son is on the autism spectrum and was totally engaged and absolutely fascinated by the things he could create . I would highly recommend this book . Beats playing video games hands down !

a bit disappointed in the hands-on projects
Maxine Anderson opens Amazing Leonardo da Vinci Inventions You Can Build Yourself with some introductory material and a brief biography of Leonardo da Vinci. The book is then divided into sections based on the different types of things da Vinci did - the artist and dreamer, useful machines, water, flight, and war inventions. I was a bit disappointed in the hands-on projects. While the materials are generally easy to find, I was hoping they would require materials I already have. I will have to purchase at least one thing for most of the projects. And even the โrecycledโ materials arenโt ones that everyone would necessarily have. I will need to re-think how I will use this title. I purchased this book as a supplemental resource for our Engineering and Inventing summer class. I would not hesitate adding it to my k-12 Christian School library.

Made a great gift to a technically inclined youth.
I can't comment on the content since I purchased this as a Christmas present for my technically inclined 12 year old nephew. He was excited to receive it and spent the most time on Christmas Eve with this present looking through the book. His father was also intrigued and spent some time with the book. Overall it looks to be a hit as a gift and in my opinion if a book can provide more excitement to a kid than a video game or PC it's a huge win!

Wonderful book, with plenty of anecdotes
We love this book. I have the entire Dover set of notebooks, so I thought I would not learn anything from it, but I was wrong. The author has dug up so many little anecdotes about Leonardo that balances out the book from a straight academic publication. It is sprinkled with little facts and figures to give the reader an insight into this brilliant man. I bought this for my wife to teach young children activities. We cannot say enough good about this book. It is well researched and written and oh so practical. Highly recommend this book.

Been reliably informed that my 8 year old Nephew who appears to have everything was suitably impressed with this book. It was bought along with a couple of working wooden catapults and will hopefully give him a shared interest when we catch up.
