Cool Cars and Trucks Sean Kenney Cool Creations edition by Sean Kenney Children eBooks Reviews

• These books have mostly images of lego figurines. There are very few actual walk through guides on how to build them. If they do have a guide it isn't the big cars they show but usually very small ones. Wishing I could find a book that actually shows you different ways to use your legos to build cool cars
• I purchased this book along with the one on cities for my boys a year ago and out of all the Lego books that I've purchased these two are by far their favorites. My boys have tons of Lego bricks and just needed a jump start and some ideas that they could run with. This book provided just that.
  
  This is not an instruction manual with step by step directions laid out, although there are some for smaller things, but it shows creations that are really do-able and inspires them to create with what they have on hand.
  
  I highly recommend this series for all Lego builders out there.
• I spend insane amounts of money on new Lego kits every birthday and Christmas, which get built once, and eventually broken down and amalgamated into the giant bucket of random Lego graveyard under the bed. I hoped this book would get them to pull out that bucket of Legos and build something new without me buying another set. I think they may have built one or two things before losing interest and wanting more sets. I personally think it's an awesome book but I guess they weren't completely sold.
• My kids assemble their lego presents according to the instructions, play with it like that for a day or 2, and then it joins the pile of Legos that become whatever they want. Cool - after all that's the joy of playing with these. This provides assistance in their designs. It assumes that you have a pile of legos from other sets with the little extras for turn signals, steering wheels, etc. The instructions are written similarly to the ones in the Lego packages.
• The author teaches children how to make basic vehicle structures and then shows pictures of various models of cars they can figure out how to make. Grandkids first loved looking at the pictures and were inspired to be creative. Then they actually found they were able to make other vehicles just by looking at the pictures. Finally they started to make their own creations which were very innovative!!
• Bought this for our cousine. He loves to read and loves to build w/ legos, so it was a win-win.(age 7) I liked that it showed lots of ways to build different vehicals w/ the same base. Very cool. Nice to have as we often loose the original instructions that come w/ our legos and are left w/ buckets of legos but no idea how to make what we want. Unless you are one of those super creative people that work for lego, this is a great book for the rest of us and kids. Helps the creativeness get a base going to expand on.
• I originally wrote a review of this book when I first bought it and at that time my Son was younger. At the time he was younger and needed experience. I tried building items in here and cannot but now I realize why. I am one of those people that need Lego instructions because I can only build things that way. My Son is now 6 and can build anything in this book. I would recommend that if you buy this book you purchase it for someone that already has a good working knowledge of building with Legos. It is especially good for someone who builds things free hand (without lego instructions). My Son likes this book so much we just bought the one about building Cool buildings.
• I bought this hoping it would help my son build different cars and such with his legos. But I was disappointed that there weren't more instructions and lists of the pieces needed for the pictures in the book. He's 4 and still loves to look at the pictures, but wants help building some of the cars in the book that I wouldn't even know where to begin to help him build.
