When I was younger, I played with Lego quite a bit. My mom even bought some ideas books that I still have to this day and now my own kids are using them. But DK Canada now have a fabulous book that I knew my kids will jump on it when they see it.

This book is simply amazing and contains numerous ideas where you and your kids can build from. Not only will it give you building tips but you will find ideas that will spark your own imagination. The book is divided in six sections full of construction ideas.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles cover any vehicles that you can think off.

Town & Country will guide you in how to build a building whether it is in town or in the country.

Out of this World is a section that will present anything from out of space.

In Days of Old will bring back in time and guide you in building Medieval structures.

A World of Adventure will bring you into the world of pirates, Vikings, the jungle as well as robots.

Make & Keep will guide you in building useful items like desk organizers or board games.

Each section always star by presenting some of the bricks you might need to complete the ideas included in it. Some people might find that it is unfortunate that some pieces are not easy to get and I understands their problem. Recently, I saw a marvelous box of Lego at Wal-Mart and checked to see if strange pieces were included in it. There was not many out of the ordinary pieces unfortunately. I would have consider getting the box if it would have been the case. I am still thinking I might purchase it because the bricks I had when I was younger are older and break easily. But not having special pieces to build the ideas in this book could be discouraging.

Like I mentioned my kids now play with my older Lego and they also got Lego for their birthday or Christmas over the year. So our Lego collection is growing... I am uncertain to how many pieces we might have to do the ideas in this book but I am excited to get down on my knees and do some building with them. Unfortunately, this book doesn't contain a step-by-step method of building the ideas. You will have to figure out most of the ideas by yourself. In a way it will help you to stretch your imagination and develop your deductive skills when investigating which pieces you will need.

I ordered this for my son, who loves lego. I knew he would be receiving a few lego gifts over the Christmas season and thought this book might help him see what else he can build with all of his extra pieces. He enjoyed it so much that he wanted to give a copy of the same book to his cousin for his birthday.

my son loves having this book.He builds all the time.He says its one of his best presents this year, fast delivery, thank you, amazon, excellent

I thought it was an idea book for the kids. You need very specific pieces. It did not interest the kids at all...

My 8-year old grandson has loads of Lego and, rather than adding to his collection, I thought that this book might give him fresh ideas for using what he already owns. Christmas morning, after the gifts were all opened, he picked up this book and thoroughly perused each page.

When he had finished, I asked him if he would be able to make the models pictured with the the Lego he currently owns. To my delight, he again went through the book and - although most of the concepts use specialized parts that he does not have - he pointed to almost all of the photos while saying that yes, he would be able to make this one and that one.... etc.

This book may save the planet (well, perhaps your house), from being buried under Lego.

my grandson had lots of lego but needed some new ideas. this was great for him to expand his work

My 6 year old grandson, who adores Lego, carries it with him when he visits. We have enjoyed sharing our favorite ideas.

Hard cover book is nice. Not enough pictures to make the projects. Has many lego pieces in these project that are hard to find.

This is a great book, but you need to have a lot of lego experience and some good engineering intuition to really make it work. Nonetheless, it inspires some fun ideas.

I am very pleased with my purchase. I bought this book for my step-son for Christmas and he is creating new objects since. It gave him plenty of ideas to create new projects. I highly recommend this book. It is very well made and presented.
