What do knights in shining armor have to do with slimy snails and porcupines? A lot, actually!

Armor & Animals
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 in the book, which experienced museum educator Liz Yohlin
Baill compares to the shells, scales, and spikes that protect animals.

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
activities safer, and connect art to their world as they learn.

Elizabeth Ohlin Baill is manager of family programs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, making the museum more family-friendly and overseeing the development of programs for children and families. She said she never wants to leave the role. Prior to working at PMA, she worked at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Chicago History Museum.
