The second LEGO(R) DC Super Heroes activity book, featuring a buildable Batman(TM) minifigure and 32 pages of hilarious activities!
Relive all of the humor and action of LEGO(R) DC Comics Super Heroes in this fun-filled activity book! Includes mazes, matching, code-breaking, puzzles, and more! Plus, a buildable LEGO Batman minifigure!
Once again LEGO and Star Wars team up to bring young fans a stellar activity book experience.
Centering around The Force Awakens storyline, this 32-page book’s offerings include: comics, mazes, word puzzles, pattern matching, a comprehension quiz, and various visual and reasoning exercises. (And of course, the LEGO figure featured on the front is an engaging bonus—however, sadly, not a figure from TFA.)
While 7+ is the recommended age, my 6-year-old had no trouble with any of it. The tone is upbeat, and the contents generally more child-friendly than the Star Wars movie in question. The artwork has a sort of cell-shaded watercolor appeal that suits the overarching whimsy.
A good potential gift, and a fun way for adult Star Wars fans to share the fandom with their children.
The book is fine, if you're in the target age group. But there's not much here to interest older Lego fans, except maybe the included minifigure, which admittedly is pretty awesome looking. The comics are pretty basic, though they do feature the same off-beat sense of humor favored by Lego media. Also, the activity pages tend to jump around as far as the Star Wars timeline goes, rather than being strictly chronological. Did I like it? Not particularly, but I'm not the intended audience. Would I reread it? No. Would I recommend it? Admittedly, the included minifigure alone would probably make the day of any juvenile Lego Star Wars fan, and possibly some adult Lego fans as well.
