Leonardo da Vinci as inventor is the focus of this time-travel fantasy picture book. When modern-day mouse Providence Traveler builds one of Leonardo's lost inventions, she and her friends travel back to 1503. Along the way, they learn about Leonardo and about everyday life in Renaissance Florence. Cartoonish illustrations accompany the contrived plot that nevertheless manages to be painlessly educational.
