Biography 5
This book was very different from the last Michelangelo book I read. The last one was just full of information everywhere, while this one told it with a story. I liked how it used a story layout to inform people about Michelangelo. Even though this is a picture book, the amount of text on a page can be quite over whelming. I think that it would be better for 4-5th graders because of the amount of content that the book does hold. The images in this book are a little different that what you would expect to find. I liked them at first, but when they started to incorporate his art work using digital devises things got a little hairy. To me it did not seem like his art work was real. It made it look computerized. I feel like it would have been better to just use the real photograph instead of one that was changed on Adobe Photoshop. They just seemed to not relay the same message as the original ones did. I really liked how they had a bibliography in the back of the book. It made this book a reliable place to get information, and you could check her sources for accuracy, if you had any doubt.
