Lego Books

Just a fun read. Not too hard.

This is the third Scholastic Reader in the Lego Knights Kingdom series. Vladek is back, and the four knights have to stop him from taking over Morcia by confronting him at his Dark Fortress, and letting King Mathias' army into that fortress. There's a new king at the end of the story.

The same story is told in "The Lost Kingdom", which is an 8x8 book, but this is a fuller version ("Lost Kingdom" glosses over some elements of the story, leaving you wondering sometimes). If you're choosing between the two, I'd recommend going with "Dark Fortress".

Fun for the Knights Kingdom enthusiast (although none of these are exactly great literature).

If your children love legos they will love to continue reading about the Exo Force creatures

Basically, if you have read the entire Chronicles AND the the previous Adventures, then you basically know that BIONICLE has taken a 2-year flashback. At the conclusion of the 2003 Story, the Toa learn of a strange new land, one they are destined to journey to. Funny thing is, this Island is perhaps even MORE ancient than the island they currently live on, Mata Nui. Before they journey, the village elders, the Turaga, most notably Turaga Vakama, decide to tell the Toa & Matoran (the Villagers) all they know of this ancient land. THAT's the flashback, which has taken 2 years to complete, story & set wise.

By BA#8, the evil Horde of Visorak, four-legged venomous spider creatures led by Sidorak and his Viceroy - Roodaka, have taken over the land of Metru Nui. This horde has traveled island to island destroying ALL life, which is bad for us readers because we know little of these islands to begin with!

Anyways, by this Adventure, the Toa Metru who have been poisoned by the venomous Visorak now must fight the uncontrollable beast from within, AS WELL AS save the Matoran they have come to rescue. Also they have the side job of trying to find a cure for their Visorak bites, or else they will remain half-beasts forever.

For devoted fans this book provides excellent answers to burning questions, and even brings up some new ones as well. From the Tahtorak, to the Krahka, the Hagah, and even the Rahaga . . . devoted fans whould not get bored!

For new fans, I highly suggest you read the Chronicles FIRST, followed by the Adventures. Mind you, there are still 2 Adventures after this one, and then there's the all-new Legends Series coming in 2006, where readers will finally return to the present, which we have left off from since 2003.

Oh, and boy does this book get me excited about the film!

As the mother of three sons, I have had the chance to read a wide variety of children's books. In the past I have enjoyed many of the Lego Bionicle books with my sons and thought we would try the Exo-force books. My two youngest sons absolutely love them and can hardly wait to read the next one that comes out. They read straight through the first three and were very disappointed that they had to wait for the next one. They are constantly reminding me that I should pre-order the next two. I will definitely do so.

i have read this book and its good

I love it. It's pretty detailed for being Legos. My g/f and I put this together over about 3 nights. It was very fun. I move the cars and people around daily to see if she will notice. I have caught her a few times racing the cars around and doing short pit stops with them.

This book provides the second half of the adventure begun in "Search for the King". If you're just starting out with Knight's Kingdom books (and toys, of course!), these two books are the ones to start with.
The style of writing is stiff, but seems appropriate for the subject matter. My kindergartner isn't yet able to read these books on his own, but loves to hear them read to him. He has all the Lego toys that are part of the Knight's Kingdom series too. Very fun for young boys.

Like the Legos themselves this book involves the young reader. The word selection is an excellent vocabulary builder. To solve the mystery the reader must solve several word problems using, math, logic and common sense. It is a fun experience for the reader, the pictures are great the story line is clear and concise. The book also teaches some history as well. I highly recommend this book.

We bought this book for our 4 1/2 year old who loves Legos and is interested in math. The story is fun and exciting and shows practical applications for math concepts. The rock raiders crash on an unknown planet and must use the materials there to repair and refuel in order to continue on their mission. After going through this book a few times, our preschooler understood multiplication, division, using a calculator, estimating, and some basic word problems (how much fuel is required to go a given distance at a given rate). The excitement of the story makes the learning process FUN!

This was a great sticker book. My son loves legos so this was a natural for him. During a long car trip, he was quiet and happy. The book contains a lot of bright colorful stickers that are easy for a child to remove himself. The book matched the lego sets my son already had, so he was hooked! There were so many stickers for him to choose from. It is a must have for a lego enthusist.
