We love Lego in this house and any book concerning Lego within a 500 mile radius of our house is on our radar to read. My 5 yr old found this one at the library yesterday and I was surprised because it was one we hadn't read before. We came home with a big pile of books to read, which is typical, but this is the very first time he couldn't wait to read it, so he sat down and read it himself. I asked if he was sure he was reading every word, because it was a level 2 book. And he said yes, in fact, he wanted me to test him when he was done. I did test him, very thoroughly and he indeed read the entire book. What a great step for us! Thank you thank you thank you LEGO for making books as well! (Even I enjoyed this one. The cool castle stuff they made with Legos is so neat!)

A book my 6 yr old loved, a little old for my preschoolers. A solid reading level 2 book, this reader has a good amount of advanced vocabulary words, but not so long that it discourages a new reader. Used it for his read out loud book, which was perfect. It took about 20 mins for him to read and had just enough new vocabulary words to make it challenging. Also, it was a fun and interesting story he could get into. He liked it so much, he asked for more by this author. Great reading book!

August 2017 - so wordy and yet so little happens.

The problem with these books is that they are advertisements with a little bit of information thrown in. This one is better than LEGO Pirates, but not by much.

He stumbled over a few words, but as a lego fan he loved this book.

Not a story. It's an informational book.
