This isn’t about books about Lego, although we certainly have plenty of those:

I had foolishly hoped to have these sets for the children on Epiphany, but that was unrealistic on pretty much every level (although, under normal circumstances in a regular year, it was not out of the realm of possibility). The sets finally arrived yesterday, and they had fun building them in the afternoon.

The way each set unfolds for play is pretty incredible, and they were able to pack a huge number of details into a small space.

I really love how clever these sets are, and I’m curious to see if they create more like them in the future!
