[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-09 Summary: My Son Loves This Book ... My 8 year old is a huge lego fan and is a StarWars fan as well. Because the pictures are illustrated so well, he is able to build similar models from the legos he already has. Which means I don't have to buy all the different sets. This book has opened his imagination for ideas to build new things. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-21 Summary: For the LEGO Star Wars Fan ... In brief, my 6 year-old son absolutely loves this book. It's funny to hear him reference the different sets from the encyclopedia (essentially this is a Lego Star Wars encyclopedia, when they were made and which characters come with the various sets. The print and paper stock is very high quality plus the book includes a "hard to find" mini-figure (Luke at the end of Star Wars). Well worth the price. ...more

I LEGO N.Y.
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780810984905; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-15 Summary: Witty ... Mr. Niemann makes me laugh every single time. He definitely makes me see mundane things in an entirely new light. I'm not sure actually buying this book is necessary because he has a blog on the NYTimes website called "Abstract City," and this entire lego-themed book was one of his early posts. Check it out first, and I guarantee you'll fall in love with his style. But this is a good way to help support his work, too. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-14 Summary: What a great gift for someone who loves New York City ... A friend sent my wife a copy of this amusing little love letter as a get well gift. Christoph Niemann has put together a number of very amusing little vignettes of the City made out of a few Lego pieces. Charming, clever and evocative. Some of these appeared on his New York Times blog; he writes ""I LEGO N.Y." A playful homage to New York. Now available as a nice chunky board book. With all the images from the original blog + a handful of new ones." It's well worth visiting his website to explore his wonderful take ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-27 Summary: And my daughter thought it was for her... ... I happened to see this book at Toys'R'Us and picked it up right away, not wanting to wait until it gets delivered (even though I do have Amazon Prime...) Christoph Niemann is an amazing illustrator, I follow his work in The New York Times religiously (my personal favorite being The Boys and the Subway: [...]) and even though this book was in a kids store and is supposed to be a book for kids, I had to disappoint my daughter and tell her Mommy was buying this for herself. Looking at it on the train ride home, I couldn't ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | I LEGO N.Y. is an imaginative look at life in New York City constructed entirely out of LEGOs. Designer and illustrator Christoph Niemann was inspired to create a series of miniature New York vignettes out of his sons' toys after a few cold and dark winter days in Berlin. The former New Yorker then posted photographs of his creations along with his handwritten captions on his New York Times blog. Resident and honorary New Yorkers around the world responded enthusiastically to the clever...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-22 Summary: Lego Fun! ... We Love Legos! Fun way to get Lego Lovers reading. I was disappointed though when I recieved this and the pictures were drawings of Legos figures and not actually pictures like in Secret at Dolphin Bay. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-09 Summary: Easy to Follow ... My four year old is really into Lego City so this book was an inspiration for learning to read. The story is comprised of short sentences that are easy to understand and recognize for early reading. The subject matter is excellent for young Lego fans. The fire theme incorporates the Lego buildings, people and fire department vehicles. The art is cartoon style lego - not still photography. Good for the price and provides vocabulary for younger readers. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-03-13 Summary: Great book to learn more about Mindstorms NXT ... The book provides a great overview of NXT platform and teaches how to build more complex robots using several projects. The first sections provides an introduction to what is in the kit before going into how to build common components. The middle sections contain several robot projects that teach how to build more complex robots, both with the bricks and sensors and how to create programs for them. I found it very useful quickly learning how to build complex robots and understanding how the graphical programming language ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-22 Summary: Great overview book of NXT ... Even though I have been working with the NXT as a teacher since it came out, I learned things about how to better build or program the NXT. Since I teach mostly introductory robotics using the NXT, I explored some additional concepts using this book. If you are new to the NXT, this is for sure a great first book to read. It begins with explainations of the LEGO pieces used in the NXT kit and then explores all of the basic programming blocks. For someone who has used the NXT, but just jumped into it without any previous ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-25 Summary: Great book and response from author. ... I highly recommend this book since the documentation that comes with the set is lacking. The book fills in the voids. Also, I had a question about availability of a program. The author responded with an answer within one day. ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-13 Summary: This is a great book for the budding LEGO fan with a wide assortment of projects to build! ... Sean Kenney was introduced to LEGO bricks when he was a child and obviously the fascination for them never abated because he now is "recognized as one of the premier LEGO brick builders in the world." In this book you can see a photograph of him at work sculpting a bust of a man in his studio. Container after container of LEGOS can be seen on the shelves behind him. Most kids don't have as many blocks as Sean does, but if you have a passion for them and a few containers, you're going to love building some of these ...more
