Description

Did you ever wonder where people got the idea of wearing armor? Or, did you ever look at an armadillo and see it was wearing armor just like the knights of old? Now you can see and compare all kinds of armor. This is a great way to learn how both people and animals use their armors. All the human armor comes from the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Arms & Armor collection. The animals are wearing their own.

Published in partnership with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Princeton Architectural Press.

Great book for kids!

Posted by Ricky Chung on Nov 17th 2020

Both our kids (2 & 4) loved all the pictures of animals and armors! Our older one was especially fascinated to see how people observed and copied nature to create armor and that lead to discussions of other things humans have copied from nature as well. Definitely a great way to explore her surroundings!
