From the time Kora and Logan were little they have loved LEGO® bricks. They have spent many hours building intricate projects like houses, shops, towns, and items like sunglasses, a watermelon, a flag, and even me as a blogger!
I partnered with Scholastic to offer this giveaway. They sent us a prize pack as well.
For their birthdays, one of their favorite places to go is the LEGO Store. We take them there and let them go to the Pick & Build wall to pick out a cupful of bricks and other pieces.
They also enjoy building a Mini Tower where they can mix and match LEGO minifigures selecting from a variety of heads, tops, bottoms, hair pieces, and accessories.
Not only are Kora & Logan big fans of LEGO but they also love to read. I always say they are my two little bookworms. They will happily stop what they are doing to sit down and read a new book or ask to stay up late to finish a favorite.
That’s why I’m excited that LEGO and Scholastic have come together to reinvent children’s nonfiction publishing. In an innovative new series, LEGO models and minifigures are illustrated in fun and fantastic scenarios throughout as the first point of engagement for kids with real-world topics.
The books are full of bright colors, like the LEGO bricks we all know and love, and the also include intriguing die-cuts, foils, and stickers.
There is a a combination of LEGO illustrations with real world photographs that Kora and Logan found both funny and interesting.
The books offer a variety of information that kids want to know so they are excited to keep reading.
LEGO Nonfiction books will be released for a variety of reading levels, ranging from ages 4 – 12. The first four books are in stores now.
Leveled Readers (ages 5- 7)
Emerging nonfiction readers love exploring favorite themes! The “Leveled Readers” series will have three levels and each level builds in complexity as the child’s nonfiction literacy skills progress. Each book also includes stickers!
