PLATO published a new issue of the interspecies magazine and workbook for children's readers and their parents The Shell. The third issue is directly linked to the PLATO exhibition Escaped, Found a Hideout, Still on the Run (Animal News) and its theme of deepening sensitivity towards animal companions. It was created in collaboration with the art and research platform Institute of Anxiety, which publishes the magazine.

The authors of the pictorial contributions, reports, colouring pages, stories and impulses for games in the third issue are the artists of the exhibition and it also contains material created by children visitors to the exhibition. Parents, children and teachers will find, for example, new reports and a game about urban pigeons. They can follow the instructions to try to develop some of the animal senses, such as bat or butterfly. Also printed are a comic strip about a human-animal family in the rainforest, a weather forecast based on birds and a colouring history of canaries.
