I, Galileo by Bonnie Christensen - ADVISABLE


Christensen, Bonnie I, Galileo.  Knopf (Random), 2012.  $18.  PICTURE BOOK.  

Galilleo’s scientific theories and discoveries rocked the world in the late 1500’s – so much so that he ended up being censured by the Catholic Church and spent the rest of his life under house arrest.  In this more detailed picture, Christensen takes us through his life and his discoveries, including enough information that it would be a good basis for a short report for a young student.
