When Leonardo was a young boy, his father received a request from a friend to have a shield painted. Knowing how talented his son was, he naturally asked Leonardo. Leonardo set out to paint a monster, and ended up painting a  creature so lifelike that his father nearly fainted from fright upon seeing it. This picture book tells the remarkable story from the life of a pretty unusual boy.
