Gr 3 Up-This oversize full-color volume is filled with photographic examples of Kenney's over 800 larger-than-life sculptures which he built with LEGO bricks. The book is divided into chapters covering animals, robots, architecture, plants and insects, vehicles, baseball, household objects, and more. The models range from detailed replicas of a peacock to a 250-pound Nintendo DSi. The details on how they are made and where they are exhibited are rather spare. LEGO builders and lovers of Minecraft will be intrigued by the unique construction ideas and possibilities with the variety of works featured. The text is aimed at younger readers, but the size and length of the book suggest an art monograph and may be cumbersome for smaller hands. Overall, Kenney's book is imbued with an aura of levity, as he jumps from one creation to the text and occasionally provides kid-friendly anecdotes. Instructions or diagrams for building LEGO creations are not included. VERDICT A whimsical addition to art collections or wherever maker spaces are popular.-Jessica Cline, New York Public Library
