Parillo's Surprise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Perhaps Tony Parillo's book, Michaelangelo's Surprise, should be retitled, "Parillo's Surprise." This children's book is a must for anyone and everyone who has ever been to Florence, Italy. The artistic pages of this book are incredibly wonderful and fun to look at, not just for children. Mr. Parillo must have worked extremely hard on this book because it reminds me of visiting a church or museum in Italy. The more you look, the more you see. It is a wonderful book for children; it has the capacity to introduce them to the architecture and beauty of the Italian culture. Kudos for a wonderful work of art!!!
A Truly Beautiful Storybook that Will Engage All Readers

I was magically transported to a romantic time and place. The fantastic pictures that author/artist Parillo has created takes this book well beyond the typical children's storybook. It is truly glorious! My children adored it and I loved it. This is one is a "keeper."
