5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lego extender, August 3, 2000

By	L. Spencer "walking easy" (Crawfordsville, Indiana USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After receiving this and the "Fabulous Figures" book by the same author as a birthday gift, my 10 year old spent hours building with Legos. A great book for the child with a tub full of bricks as an alternative to yet another Lego set. Clear Lego-type instuctions and ideas for variations to jump start the imagination.

1.0 out of 5 stars Requires obscure pieces, September 5, 2001

By A Customer

The animals in this book require around 20 pieces of lego each. My son has a pretty diverse set of over 2000 pieces of classic lego, yet he does not have all of the pieces needed to make even *one* of these animals, even *without* trying to stick to the right colors. Most of the animals require at least one piece that I've never even *seen* before.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beginner book, January 8, 2002

By	Sonterro (Lakeland, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

I got this book for my nine year old son. He went through and complete most of the projects over the Christmas holidays. However, once complete, he does not appear to be interested in it anymore.

I was hoping that the book would spark his imagination. However, most of the projects were so simple that they only took a few minutes to complete.

Anyway, the drawings are good. Each project comes with a complete list of parts and several drawings. It is just like buying the individual kits.
