This is a good book for a Lego Chima lover reader. This one is about how all the tribes have decided to put aside their differences in order to go on a quest to find the Legendary Beasts. It introduces a character from each of the tribes and some of the weapons or vehicles. Each section is about a page long 7-9 sentences usually. It's about 40 pages of text and pictures. This is definitely more advanced than an easy reader, it could work reading a page at a time for an early reader. I wouldn't use this as a read aloud in one sitting, but a few sections at a time would work. Aside from some of the names which might be difficult for some readers some of the words included are especially, powerful, penetrate, mysterious, responsible, and magically. There is the word "stupid" a few times, in referring to the bat and rhino tribes. The pictures are of the Lego creations, characters, vehicles, and sets with a background scene. At the end there is a small quiz, and a glossary with some of the harder vocabulary. My boys loved it.

My 7-year-old really liked this, so I gave it 4 stars. I appreciate the way the book is organized into chapters. The quiz at the end is fun, too. I learned a lot about Chima.
