LEGO Books That You Won’t Want to Miss!

Over the years we have read so many LEGO books.  So. Many! If a new book was coming out we found a way to get it.  For some we grabbed them from the library, for others we knew we needed to buy it right away.

Most of the ones that we got from the library were put on gift wish lists and eventually purchased.  Sometimes I would order a book, have it sent in the mail, and give my son the package when it arrived. It is always fun to get a surprise in the mail. Especially when it involves LEGO!

So, since we have so many books, I decided I should write about them (as part of our LEGO section on the site) and let you know which ones we liked the best, which ones are good for specific uses, which have instructions included, and which are simply must have additions to your LEGO book library.

I am happy to share the following books with you.

LEGO Book Lists You Can't Miss

 

Lego allows all levels of complexity. But a child can do their own thing at any level. They can built a pirate ship, for example, and then mash it up with completely different things. (from this article) ~Jorgen Vig Knudstorp, Head of The LEGO Group

LEGO Books For Older Builders

These are the books that Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOLs) and kids who are a bit older will really enjoy. Younger kids can use, and enjoy these as well, but the content is geared toward adults.

What I love about this group of books is that there are great instructional books with step-by-step building guides, as well as, books to read about the artists in LEGO bricks, and books that show the incredible builds, both small and large, made by those in the AFOL community.

A good LEGO book can take your building to the next level!
