[MR] Looking for some elementary school level *fiction*book suggestions

[Smith CTR Jeffrey C]

While it's not heraldry in the sense described in the original post, one good book is "The White Stag" by Kate Seredy, in which symbolism which would become heraldic in a later era is used throughout in a fictional way tied to historical figures (Attila, Bendeguz, etc.)

I believe the best book to do what you want is probably going to be _Harold the Herald_ by Dana Fradon.  It's a children's book on heralds and heraldry and is simply quite delightful.

Amazon has a number of used ones for really cheap:  http://www.amazon.com/Harold-Herald-2-Dana-Fradon/dp/0525446346/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219168445&sr=8-1   but unfortunately, no picture of the cover or interior.
