Editorial Reviews: 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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A great introduction to heraldry for the wee ones. Comment: I bought this for my four-year-old daughter, and this has become a favorite bedtime story book for her. It is perfectly gear for the younger ages with many colorful examples of coats of arms along with some elementary explanations of why they existed. The stencil is great and allows the youngest artist to make their very own arms. (I recommend make copies fo the blank shield and letting the wee ones mark up the copies.) Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book for Activity Comment: This book is great! It has lots of color, very kid-friendly. It has explanations of the colors and many designs or pictures you may find on a coat of arms. Very helpful for coat of arms lessons and as a tool to help a child create their own coat of arms. My homeschool group used this for children aged 4-11 and they all loved looking at it! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent book Comment: This book is great. It covers several aspects of heraldry (history, battlefield, heralds, tournaments, rules, positioning, meaning of designs etc.) without being overwhelming for children. I have used this book with my art therapy students, and my sister has used it with her students with art class...all the students loved it. Even those who can't read can get alot from the book as illustrations are excellent. I highly recommend. Ages 6-adult...I have even used this book to design a shield for myself. For those interested in other sources...Heraldic Design by Hubert Allcock is also a great sourcebook. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for younger children Comment: I think this is excellent for younger children. It is a good basic introduction. Customer Rating: Summary: Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Comment: Catherine Daly-Weir has done an excellent job of presenting a general and yet fairly complete introduction to Heraldry. The illustrations are beautiful and attractive. Obviusly written for the younger reader, adults will enjoy just as well. If you are working on a club/class project and need to creat a Coat of Arms, this book and Rosemary Chorzempa's "Design Your Own Coat of Arms" are all you need! You will have no trouble creating your own Coat of Arms expecially with the plastic stencil which is included in the book. A must have! More Reviews
