Summary: A good overview of the Renaissance
Comment: Written for the 9 to 12 year old, this 100 page book is a lovely overview to the major issues of the Renaissance. The title hints at whats to come -- rats (method of transmission for the Plague), bulls (the Martin Luther kind), and flying machines (Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance man). Making cameo appearances: the Medici, Machiavelli, the Borgias, Castiglione, Brunelleschi, Donatello, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Van Eyck, Shakespeare, Durer, Bruegel, Cervantes, Gutenberg, Henry VIII, St. Ignatius Loyola, and Galileo. Also discussed is the Reformation, although somewhat limited in scope. Beautiful color pictures. The only real complaint that I have is that the book is too brief, but an excellent start for youngsters discovering the Renaissance.

Summary: Colorful Overview of the Renaissance
Comment: Ms. Prum's clever review of the Renaissance is full of wit, humor, and unlike many children's history books, information. Her book provides a teacher or parent with simple, interesting facts about this exciting period of history. I recommend it for all teachers and parents who want to avoid the dreary world of text book history.
