Awesome Lego Creations With Bricks You Already Have by Sarah Dees

I have followed Mrs. Dees' blog since my oldest son was a toddler and was thrilled to see that she published a book!
In this book she shows various lego creations her boys have created over the years.
She encourages the reader to be creative and not think they have to use exactly what they suggest.
She even offers tips where to purchase specific bricks.
Check out Mrs. Dee's blog: http://frugalfun4boys.com/
(*She has lego storage ideas, craft ideas and STEM activities listed on the blog.)
My boys were not into this book as I had thought they would be.  My oldest likes having the exact pieces he needs in a bag while this book requires the builder to hunt for specific bricks.  Our bricks are all mixed up so I think he was overwhelmed!  My youngest actually made a few creations and was very proud of himself!
A must-have book for lego-lovers and builders who are a bit more creative and free-spirit.

Lego Ninjago The Green Ninja and Pirates Vs. Ninja adapted by Tracy West

Two ninja stories in one book!
In the Green Ninja the four ninja prevent Lord Garmadon from taking the Mega Weapon finding themselves transformed into their younger selves.

In the Pirates Vs. Ninja Lord Garmadon takes off with Ninja's ship-Destiny Bounty when he by accident calls back the pirates to life who used to drive the ship.

Lego Ninjago Attack of the Nindroids adopted by Kate Howard

The four ninja are teaching at Sensei Wu's Youth Academy when they are warned about a new evil on the rise.
My seven year old read this book in one sitting.
Short chapters make this great for reluctant readers and to help build stamina.

Lego Star Wars Darth Maul's Mission by Ace Landers illustrated by David White

Darth Maul wants to defeat the Republic must conquer the Jedi Knights.  Told in comic style.
The font style and all capital letters made it difficult for my seven year old to read.  He enjoyed it anyway.
