<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>What do knights in shining armor have to do with slimy snails and porcupines? A lot, actually! <i>Armor & Animals</i> brings together two things kids love to provide an entryway into the world of art. The armor collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, beloved by its young visitors, provides the remarkable helmets, shields, and more that appear in the book, and which experienced museum educator Liz Yohlin Baill compares to the shells, scales, and spikes that protect animals. <p/>Lively text paired with bright, modern graphics and real-life armor informs kids about art and animals in tandem. A rhino crashes into a knight, teaching kids that a group of rhinos is called a crash--so stay out of the way! Dragons may be imaginary, but a fire-breathing dragon etched on armor can still make a horse look extra tough. Kids can consider the helmets, goggles, and other armor they use that help make their own activities safer, and connect art to their world as they learn.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Liz Yohlin Baill is Collections Interpreter for Youth and Families at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
