As in her "ABC" and "Picture This" . . ., acclaimed as abeautiful, a ainventive, a and amarvelous, a Alison Jay captivates with this clever work of art, treating readers of all ages to visual surprises, scenes from ten favorite fairy tales, and witty stories-within-stories.

Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo Da Vinci's Servant
by Grey, Christopher Peter
"All of Milan is becoming impatient because Da Vinci has dawdled. The Last Supper, his greatest painting ever, has taken two years so far, and there is barely a sketch upon the wall! His servant, Giacomo, is busy fighting off creditors, prodding his master into action, and secretly practicing his own drawing. With a mystery, an adventure, and a lot of great history, this novel is recommended for any young adult reader." --Carrie Elizabeth Richmond, Inklings Bookshop, Yakima, WA
