Kid Konnection: Cool Creations in 35 Pieces

Every Saturday, I host a feature called Kid Konnection -- a regular weekend feature about anything related to children's books. This week, I'm going to share with you a book that's perfect for the Lego fan in your life!

Summary: Creativity knows no bounds! LEGO artist Sean Kenney reuses the same thirty-five LEGO bricks to create a variety of images in all categories: vehicles, spaceships, home accessories, animals, nature, robots, and many other subjects. This new LEGO offering is sure to spark imagination and encourage kids to think outside the box, which is the message that Sean strongly promotes about creativity, imagination, and building with LEGO. -- Henry Holt

COOL CREATIONS IN 35 PIECES by Sean Kenney is a fantastic book for budding Lego artists. All too often, I buy a Lego kit (usually Star Wars) for Booking Son and my husband asks, "What happened to just playing with regular old Legos?" Well, COOL CREATIONS IN 35 PIECES is one answer to that question.

COOL CREATIONS IN 35 PIECES provides loads of different ideas for unique Lego creations using only 35 pieces. To make the book even cooler, it's the same 35 pieces for each creation! The author uses different color schemes, but all of the basic pieces are identical.

The creations Mr. Kenney makes include robots (even transforming ones), spacecraft, buildings, various animals, and even goofy faces! One idea is more creative than the next. And I like that the objects are easy to assemble so the book is relevant for kids of all ages.

As a mom, I love how kids can use this book as a pattern to make Mr. Kenney's idea, but I also love how they can use it as a jumping off point for their own creations. In fact, the author actually encourages kids to come up with even more ideas for using no more than these 35 Lego Pieces.

COOL CREATIONS IN 35 PIECES is so much fun! Highly recommended!

Thanks to Goodman Media for providing a review copy of this book.
