Just as he did in the previous Cool Creations in 35 Pieces, the creator limits himself to 101 different Lego bricks. While some of the designs require fewer than 101 pieces, none of them need more than that. He even includes a photograph of all the different pieces he uses to create fast cars, robots, a vacuum, a stroller, a Galactic dart, and some funny faces. Many of the creations have step-by-step directions to guide budding inventors who can certainly use this book as a launching pad for additional ideas. This book makes even beginning builders look brilliant! Any classroom or home with Legos needs to have this book. It might have been helpful to include directions even for the simpler designs, though, so youngsters can build them independently.

This how-to guide presents Lego block builders to a variety of projects using 101 pieces or less. Readers looking to create something out of all the extra pieces they have will be fascinated by the ideas and step-by-step Lego-like instructions offered. One situation that could frustrate readers is not owning some of the specific parts needed for these projects. The author offers a website where these pieces may be purchased.Photographs of finished projects are on each page with some added doodles and drawings to add to the general theme of the particular project.
