Coat of Arms

by Catherine Daly-Weir, Jeff Crosby (Illustrator)

Why did knights of the Middle Ages have coats of arms? What did the different symbols and colors mean? Could anyone have one? Even girls? Here's a fascinating first look at heraldry with an accompanying stencil so that readers can create a shield with their very own coat of arms.

Fun book with information about the history of coat of arms. My children have greatly enjoyed using the included stencil to design their shields.
