Brick Beasts: 40 Clever & Creative Ideas to Make from Classic LEGO

I remember many hours spent with my brothers around a large communal bin of building bricks, building anything that came to mind. I also remember wishing that there were instructions to follow for building cool designs, but new sets only came with directions for one model. Problem solved! These books each contain 40 designs to build. Flipping through the book, I found myself thinking how neat it was to see traditional pieces being used in inventive ways. Some building idea books hinge on having very specialized pieces from licensed sets, but as I flipped through these, I saw only one especially unique piece. Everything else was built from pieces I know I can easily find, even in slightly older bins of bricks. The step by step directions are computer-generated illustrations, just like the ones that come in brand new sets. Choose from 40 animal designs like a horse, lion, and fox; build 40 things that go like a tow truck, concrete mixer, model T, or moon buggy; create 40 mythological and fantastical beasts like dragons, ogres, or sphinx; build 40 different buildings like a gingerbread house, lighthouse, or ice castle; or create 30 pet designs like a canary, goat, or bulldog. Breathe new life into that big box of bricks with these fun, colorful books. 96 pp, sc. - Laura
