Blogger’s Review
These books are seriously amazing! Hours of fun guaranteed with so many designs to build. They look very realistic and intricate, you’ll be able to brag to your friends that you made them.
The instructions are very similar to those from LEGO so both newbies and veteran builders will find them easy to follow. Not only you get to build awesome creatures and cars, but you also get to learn about each of the designs with the included educational and historical texts. They also feature lists of all the pieces required for the builds, including official LEGO pieces numbers for you to order them from their online shop.
Whether you are a beginner or a pro and want to extend your knowledge on building with blocks, these books are for you!
Be sure to look out for the other books in the series.

This sounds like a great book. We have lots of Lego’s, that would be lots of fun!
These look like great books for the kids!
My grandson would absolutely love these books . There would be endless hours of fun.
These books look amazing. My grandson is a bit young for them yet, but he’d definitely love them in the near future!
LOVE this! I like the creativity Legos encourages but this takes it to a whole different level almost like model building. I have a nephew that would really enjoy this book.
Love how you can capture wildlife using legos in the books. Very interesting.
This sure sounds like a fun book to be creative with !
creative book
This sounds like a great book. I love a rainy afternoon building something out of Lego with my kids!
Definitely a book my son would love to have!
I should think that my son would love this – mind you he is 40 (still a kid at heart) and he’s infected my grandchildren too. 🙂
I think my nieces would love the dinosaur book. They’re a little too tech-obsessed and this would make for some good tech downtime.
These sounds like great books, my nephew would like the Brick Car one.
