My son has been interested in LEGO® for the past few years but it has become an obsession the past few months! All summer, he just wanted to build, build, build! LEGO has taken over his desk and any other open spaces in his room and we have plans to decorate his room in a LEGO theme. While I love that he’s being creative and using his imagination to build, I also wanted him to keep reading this summer. The perfect solution? LEGO nonfiction books! I’m so excited to partner with Scholastic to share with you these fun new books!
What is LEGO® nonfiction?
Two powerhouse brands, LEGO and Scholastic, come together to reinvent children’s nonfiction publishing. In this innovative new publishing program, LEGO models and minifigures are illustrated in fun and fantastic scenarios throughout as the first point of engagement for kids with real-world topics. This program represents a marriage of core values between LEGO and Scholastic: imagination, creativity, fun, and learning, as well as providing the most engaging, educational information for children.
- An imaginative, fun, and informative nonfiction reading experience from Scholastic and The LEGO® Group—two of the most trusted brands in the world
- Visually stimulating packaging, interiors, and added-value including die-cuts, foil, and stickers
- A combination of LEGO illustrations with real world photographs yield HILARIOUS and INFORMATIVE books kids won’t put down.
- Humor and creativity that kids LOVE and EXPECT from the LEGO brand
- “Building starters” throughout each book encourage the connection between the reading experience and real-world LEGO building
- Amazing facts that kids WANT to know from Scholastic
These books are so much fun and my son has fallen in love with them – he’s always wanting me to sit down with him and read them. He loves that there are familiar characters in the books from sets he has or movies he has seen. The LEGO books are teaching him in a fun way and he’s had so many questions for me as he reads!

the planets book
My son is all about space, so he would love the planets one for sure!
I am not sure if I could pick one because all three of my boys love ALL of these subjects and have tons of books on all of them. But what they don’t have is LEGO books and these topics all together. They would literally be thrilled out of their minds to combine their favorite subjects with LEGOs!
It is hard decide which one would be a favorite. My son would love all of them! He said if he had to choose the Dino Safari.
Planets!!

My son would love them all but the Deep Dive would be his favorite.
These look like great books. First we would read the Planets book.
I think at first he would read about the planets..he loves space.
It would be a tough choice, as both capture my son’s interest. Yet, I think if he choose one it would be Knights.
My granddaughter would like Deep Dive – much like her mother, she loves all things to do with the ocean.
Oh he would love the Deep Dive! He is so into sharks and sea life!
My nephew would love Dino Safari
Oh my goodness I want these! My three little guys would love the Deep Dive one!
