(3) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Fernandez & Rick Jacobson. A new apprentice to Michelangelo, Marco is undermined and embarrassed by a jealous senior apprentice. But when summoned to Rome to paint the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo selects Marco to accompany him because of Marco's paint-making skills and his loyalty. The long but well-told story helps to illuminate the methods of a master artist; handsome paintings ably convey setting and mood.
