Great Presentation, one of my favourite picture book in my collection!Capture the heart of each history epic moment and some splendid actions are presented by Lego in which not much covered in current market.My most enjoyable pictures like Ancient Roman City Little house and Castle wall, Gettysburg Battlefront face to face battleline &Copernicus planetarium demonstration with such little amount of lego pieces!For little drawback of my personal interesting is that I can't move the lego piece for viewing different angles.Of cos this one is book not Lego Website!

I give this five stars mostly out of my love for Lego.The history covered in the book was more Western history than what I would call world history- it would have been awesome to see more of the world in glorious Lego. Still, the photos are beautiful and as soon as I can I plan on framing the posters that come with this book. For the curious, the posters are the moon landing and the Boston Tea Party.

What a treat to run across this book in a big box warehouse store! I just purchased 3 animation kits for my elementary school students to check out from our school library; this book is a PERFECT resource for my students! The scenes are great for inspiration and show how to build a key feature with each scene. Money well spent; this will be thumbed through a lot!

great!!
