I'm looking for older chapter books on Michelangelo. Signature and Landmark didn't do any titles.

Any recommendations that will not have questionable material?

There is a nice little chapter in Little People Who Became Great by Laura A. Large. Haven't come across a full chapter book.

I have the Michelangelo picture study portfolio from simply charlotte mason. It has biography recommendations and one of them is the wings of an eagle: the story of Michelangelo by Anne merriman peck. I haven't read it and I think it's out of print, but it's written from a catholic perspective.

I just remembered today I have this copy. Yippee for me! It was published by Credo Books. It's a Catholic series from the early 1960s. Printed by Hawthorn books, Catholic Digest Junior Book Shelf editions. I haven't made spreadsheets/tables of some of my smaller Catholic book series, and that's why I forgot!

You need to do that...and share them with us so we can drool over what you have.

Okay - so these are not chapter books, but since I was on the lookout for Michelangelo books found these two picture books. Had read one before. The other was new to me. Both fun ones in the picture book genre if interested.

The Stone Giant: Michelangelo's David and How He Came to Be (Jane Sutcliff) - very intereating story/history of the carving of David - need to be comfortable with kids seeing the statue in all its glory.

Michelangelo's Surprise (Tony Parillo) - based on little known story, interesting look at the time
