This book had great details about all the Lego sites and the history of Lego, but it didn't really refer to exactly how things were made or whether they were still there. Since I have never been to a Lego site it's a great way to beg my mom to let me go!
Read this book!
P-r-e-t-t-y Amazing June 5, 2002

My brothers and I spend hours playing with LEGO as children. I remember the LEGO people ended up out in the sand box and who knows what ever happened to all those LEGO pieces that were "very" painful to step on by accident!
Anyway, this book shows some amazing things you can build with LEGO. We are talking the Empire State Building and the Sydney Opera House. Now you can even play with LEGO while wearing LEGO brand clothing.
"This book is not about a toy. It is a book about an idea, a set of values, and a long-term commitment to empowering children to use their creativity and build their imagination. "
-Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen
This book documents the story of LEGO and tells how a master carpenter in a small town of Billund, in Jutland, Denmark started making wooden toys. It then shows the evolution of the LEGO bricks through the years.
One of the most intricate constructions is a model of Grand Central Station. It contains 600,000 bricks and took four model makers six months to build.
The LEGO brick art is pretty amazing. They even have the Mona Lisa in a LEGO frame.
Captivating!

Great for Kids and Adults... March 21, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
We purchased this book for my oldest son (10) for X-mas. He really enjoyed looking at the pictures and seeing how Lego engineers their different lands and how they make different pieces. As an adult it brought back fond memories of childhood with the time lines and examples of how and when different lego pieces came to be. We enjoyed sitting down with our kids and paging through this large volume. We hope you do too!!!
the little block that could... March 17, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book for a 4 year old Lego nut. He hasn't put it down in about 2 years and has given him tons of building ideas. He has been a Lego enthusiast since 2 years old and couldn't even believe that people actually played with lego and got paid for it. This is a great book for little and big block builders. he loved the mindstorms part also. Lego-it's not just for kids anymore.
