I've looked over and over at the Lego books, but they all use specialty parts that you can't get. My 6-year-old keeps asking me to buy one. When I found this, it looked a little more practical, and it is. Again, they use some specialty pieces that either aren't available period and/or I don't have them. The difference is that it isn't too hard to figure out how to adapt these examples. Keep in mind that I'm older and grew up when Legos were mostly basic sets, not the specific ones. Now, kids think they have to follow the step-by-step instructions to create anything because the sets have become so specific. So that's why I'm only giving it 3 stars. I think it would become frustrating to kids that expect the step-by-step instructions. This book does not do that. You need to use your imagination.

This is actually three books in one: Cool Cars and Trucks, Cool Robots, and Cool City. It is wonderful book for any child (or adult for that matter) who loves working with Legos. It has instructions for making all sorts of vehicles, cityscapes and buildings, robots, and scifi spaceships. The book has instructions and illustrations but encourages the user to utilize his or her own creativity. It is an amazing book that I bought for a six year old who is a whiz with Legos.

What a waste of money. If you don't have tons of specialty pieces don't even bother. Your child will just be upset that they can't build anything in the book. I purchased another lego book which was to inspire ideas, also ALL creations made with specialty bricks. Unless your child is a fanatic and has all types of lego pieces, wheels, hinges etc. you midse well just throw your money directly into a trash can.

The book is very cool but not what I wanted. My fault.It calls for the use of to many speciality parts. My grandson has just started collecting lego and has mostly basic blocks.

My grandson has lots of loose legos handed down from his uncle without the instructions. I have looked at a lot of lego books trying to find some instructions for items for the 4-8 age group. This is exactly what I wanted and if he enjoyes the book. It's a gift, I'll be ordering more.

I bought this book for my eight year old Lego addict and he LOVES it. Three books in one make it a great deal, plus it has easy-to-follow instructions, which many Lego idea books lack. The book encourages kids to create their own Lego builds, too. Plus there are fun things to do within the book itself, like locate various Lego pieces pictured throughout the book (A "Where's Waldo" kind of thing). My son has spent hours bent over this book and a pile of Lego, only to surface with the cutest robots, the coolest cars, and the most creative cityscapes imaginable.Despite the look of the book, it isn't easy enough for young kids unless they've had plenty of experience assembling Lego (or unless a parent helps out). Still, I highly recommend this one. Well worth the money for the hours of building it provides.

This is three books in one. We originally discovered the Cool Robots one at our local library, quite by accident, actually. My son loved it!! He always loved being creative with his legos, but this gave inspiration and direction to his creativity. He is building wonderful creations, and having so much fun. We kept renewing the book and decided if we liked it that much we just needed to buy it. :)Looking for Cool Robots we came upon this compilation of three books in one. In my 7 year old son's own words, "This book is so awesome!!" He's building and playing like never before, and hasn't lost interest, and in this electronic day, that is worth it's weight in gold!

This book is perfect for any kids (and their parents) who love LEGOs. This is a paperback edition that includes three of Kenney's books: "Cool Cars and Trucks", "Cool Robots" and "Cool City".The book is half inspiration photos and half step-by-step instructions. The instructions do include a lot of specialized pieces that we don't have, but I think that can in itself fuel LEGO creativity. When you buy a LEGO set, it comes with all the required pieces so you can get in the habit of closely following the instructions. But when you don't have a certain piece, it reminds you to use your imagination and to make the model your own.My son is four years old and the instructions are a little advanced for him, but he still loves it. I knew it was a good purchase when my son made his own robot from scratch after looking at the inspiration photos in the book.
