My 4-year-old son really loves the Lego City books, and so far the ones he has read are all related to things that he loves too. This book is no exception.However, throughout this story, the boy Eric tries to help his sister and dad, but everything he does goes wrong. Over and over, it is clear that he is not big enough and makes everything into a big mess (in exaggerated ways). He gets bummed out, you can see in the pictures that other people are negatively affected by whatever he tries to do to help. Only in the last couple of pages does he find something that he is good at. He can see and reach a wrench that his dad had lost, and now his dad can fix a truck that needs to be worked on. So basically, the only thing in the whole book he can do well is bend over and pick up a wrench, though they do recognize briefly that the wrench is still important.I felt that the conclusion was far too weak for all the trouble Eric went through the rest of the book. My own son is continually afraid that he will try something - everything - and not be good at it. He would love to try all the things in this book, but we focus on all the many things he can do and learning as we try instead of focusing on all the things at which we fail. Yes, there are times when we can't do what we'd like to do and times when we mess up, but I think the focus should be elsewhere. If the book had spent less time on failing and more time on what he can do and how important it is to try and help, I would probably have loved it. Now to find another Lego City book and hope we can make this one disappear.
my older son is only 3 so he can't read the words in this lego city book-- but the story isn't very good, one other reviewer summarized the plot already, i just wanted to agree, it is a negative weird story for most of the book. i just make up other words for my son to enjoy what is in the pictures in a less dramatic story. we enjoy playing with the duplo sized blocks every day and he has several other lego city books- he is into all things trucks & we play mechanic alot so i hoped this book would be fun for him- but instead of just a book about fixing trucks and other machines (so much potential here!) it is an odd not very fun storyline.
This is a great story that teaches natural consequences, and the importance of listening... but is wrapped up with the main character finding that he has a trait/skill that nobody else does. My 3 year old loves it.... made it into the nightly reading selection this month!
My first grade son loves the lego books because they are like cartoons. Many, such as All Aboard or Ready for Take off are too easy for him now. This book is a step up but still quite doable. Plus it is about a son helping his Dad. A subject dear to every young boys heart. Buy it for boys who you want to develop a love of reading.=
Another great lesson learned! Just because a child is small doesn't mean their worth may not be great! My two 5 and 4 1/2 year old grandsons love this one! They put this is the 'pile' to be read on a weekly basis! Don't miss it!!
Got this for my 3 year old grandson and he loves the story as he's into helping and this is all about that.Just the right length for his attention span.Nice bright colors and easy to read print.
Cute book for kids! It is typical LEGO story --simple story line with a "big win" for the worker force or police force at the end. It is educational because it shows what mechanics do and walks you through the concept of problem solving. I would recommend this book for preschoolers and Kindergarten thru 2nd grade. It was great to have this book on my Kindle! Easy to read anywhere and with bright, vivid colors on the screen. Overall, a great book!
My two year old loves to read this book. It is short, simple and satisfying. I enjoy discussing the "moral" of the story with my older 4 year old son. I love Legos and so do they. This book let's us share that passion without getting all excited before bed time.
