With Leonardo’s Cat the saga continues as Sharon Wooding’s endearing hero, Micio, comes to the rescue yet again, this time to the aid of a runaway baby! The settings are the workshops, convents, and piazzas of noble Florence, at the height of the Italian Renaissance, with Micio as da Vinci’s devoted companion. The master’s famous ink studies of cats have long attested to his fascination with felines. With fidelity and devotion, Wooding captures the essence of the breed: its intelligence, powers of observation, mysterious ways, and many moods. Here is that rare book that parents and children will love reading together.
