5.0 out of 5 stars Another hit DK lego book in our house October 28, 2012

By D. MCKICHAN TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

My son (age 8) has several of these DK Lego books. I have reviewed all of them and would give them (and this one) 6 stars if I could. Amazon has excellent prices on them and they are well worth it if you have a young person who likes Lego's. This one, like most, comes with a special edition Lego mini-figure (even though the product page shows the insert area blanked out). It has the entire Ninjago universe laid out in extremely colorful and detailed photos. Even one of the small bagged Target sets that my son got a year ago gets a whole page to itself. Very detailed photos but more importantly a lot of written material as well associated with each page, set, and figure. My son lugs these around the house and prefers to read them to watching TV. He likes to read about the little tidbits associated with the characters and sets, and although not perhaps incredibly intellectually stimulating, it is reading and most importantly he does it on his own, is interested in the subject matter, and likes to talk about what the books are telling him. (I will also admit that I have read them all to, just because they are that well done.)

We are over two months into the Lego Batman DK book and he still reads it daily. Star Wars and Lego Harry Potter are still by his bed and get read weekly and they are about a year old in our house. This one being new has displaced them on the top of the heap. At the price Amazon discounts these they are well worth. I highly recommend. Also Scholastic publishes a similar looking and titled book on the Lego ninjago universe also with free figure. The DK book however has the actual Lego sets in it as well as descriptions about the characters and ninja go universe. The scholastic book just has descriptions on the characters and doesn't actually feature any Lego sets. We have both in our house and the DK book is the nicer of the two in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great entertainment for second graders, and keeps agility of their grandpa brains! November 9, 2012

****1/2
I was carried along my grandson, now seven, first into LEGO together with his dad, then into LEGO Ninjago, alone, so far. It is a merry way to release the weight of years. The heroic world of Ninjago was created by the First Master of Spinjitzu, utilizing four mighty weapons, that no one could keep all at once, because of their tremendous power. The four Martial arts weapons, Nunchuks of Lightning, the Sword of Fire, the Scythe of Earth Quakes and the Shurikens of Ice mesmarize Noah, and puzzle his grandpa!

Each beautifully illustrated spread features loads of entertaining tips and fun facts on all of various characters of each minifigure, Cole, Jay, Kai, and his sister Nya, with their dreadful weapons, and vehicles, at locations that make the LEGO Ninjago world a dreamland. The exclusive minifigure is ready to be put together. "Who is the best builder in your family?," is a clever challenge that gives the kids an advantage over their grandpa, with an exclusive miniature figure for Noah and Oliver to put together!

Sensei Wu's ninjas may work together, I was informed by the swift kids, but they are actually all very different and unique. My little amateur ninjas can now learn everything they need to know about their favorite Ninja Masters of Spinjitzu. They informed me that additional pages are included featuring many exciting events from the new animated series (on Cartoon Network), rendering Lego Character Encyclopedia the perfect addition to all their LEGO lovers peer's collection!
