LEGO R Books 5-Minute Builds by AMEET

Web ID: 16528698Title should be 5 minute build IDEAS
So bought this as gift for my 5 yr old niece thinking it would have step by step instructions for simple builds for kids new to legos. This is not that, yes they are instructions but not detailed ones like ones that come with sets. Adults and older kids easy figuring it out but niece did need help on a few of builds. What this book is more an activity style book for parent/adult and child to do together. Example there’s an activity where a whirlpool took all the bricks except for these 8. What creature can you create with the pieces? Also was bit disappointed by included legos 50pc in total but only 4 of those are bricks. 2- 1x2 and 2-1x4 rest are plates and specialized bricks&pieces.

Response from LEGO
Thanks for letting us know that the 5-Minute LEGO® Builds book wasn't exactly the gift you had in mind for your niece. For more detailed instructions, we'd recommended checking out the sets in our Classic theme, which offer a few initial ideas to get you going before you begin your own building adventures!
inspirational lego set
5-MINUTE LEGO BUILDS is a cute collection of lego build ideas, using the bricks that come with the book. The book includes 50 lego pieces in the front, as well as a book of design ideas. The book itself is inspirational more than directional. While there are a few pages that sort of walk the reader through how to build the animals and objects, most pages are more suggestions. I actually would have appreciated more directions and clarity on how to put these together, which could have spared some frustration of trying to make the awesome things photographed within, but are not so easy to recreate from a single image. Although I would have appreciated more of an instructional book that could then inspire further creativity, the book itself is full of fun designs and images. The colors, creativity, and breadth of ideas are really fun, and this can definitely get children's imaginations going. For additional creativity, I would recommend having other legos to combine with these, as they only build one or maybe two things at a time. Many of these bricks are small, so the fun would definitely be multiplied with supplemented bricks at home. Overall, this was a fun activity idea book that can help inspire young lego builders to create new scenes. Please note that I received a review copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Loads of Fun!
Lego build sets are the best....and this set is no exception. It's tons of fun for all ages 5 and up. Highly recommend. Thanks to Sourcebooks Early Reads program for this Lego set/instruction booklet. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor or expectation.
