LEGO NINJAGO: Character Encyclopedia

My son (age 8) has several of these DK Lego books. I have reviewed all of them and would give them (and this one) 6 stars if I could. Amazon has excellent prices on them and they are well worth it if you have a young person who likes Lego's. This one, like most, comes with a special edition Lego mini-figure (even though the product page shows the insert area blanked out). It has the entire Ninjago universe laid out in extremely colorful and detailed photos. Even one of the small bagged Target sets that my son got a year ago gets a whole page to itself. Very detailed photos but more importantly a lot of written material as well associated with each page, set, and figure. My son lugs these around the house and prefers to read them to watching TV. He likes to read about the little tidbits associated with the characters and sets, and although not perhaps incredibly intellectually stimulating, it is reading and most importantly he does it on his own, is interested in the subject matter, and likes to talk about what the books are telling him. (I will also admit that I have read them all to, just because they are that well done.) We are over two months into the Lego Batman DK book and he still reads it daily. Star Wars and Lego Harry Potter are still by his bed and get read weekly and they are about a year old in our house. This one being new has displaced them on the top of the heap. At the price Amazon discounts these they are well worth. I highly recommend. Also Scholastic publishes a similar looking and titled book on the Lego ninjago universe also with free figure. The DK book however has the actual Lego sets in it as well as descriptions about the characters and ninja go universe. The scholastic book just has descriptions on the characters and doesn't actually feature any Lego sets. We have both in our house and the DK book is the nicer of the two in my opinion.

This is a fantastic book for any Lego Ninjago fan! The book has sturdy construction with thick cardboard covers coated in a virtually waterproof finish! This book will last forever! Unlike most books aimed at kids, my son has been able to put this in his backpack and take it to school, loan it to friends, leave it rolling around in the car for a week and it still looks amazing! Very well made product. The extra mini figure it comes with was a HUGE hit too! My son practically head a heart attack when he saw it! Apparently that character is the ultimate Ninjago character and is sought after by everyone, so if you haven't been able to find the individual packs this is a great alternative to buying one of the larger more expensive sets if your child wants 'the green ninja!'. The book itself is really nice actually, full color on every single page, and each page is devoted to either a character or a set and it lays out each and every character down to the evil skeleton guys! It includes facts and action shots and has large almost full page images of the characters in each of their forms, such a DX, ZX, etc... My son is an AVID Ninjago fan and even he learned a few things about the characters and their individual stories he didn't already know! It's really an essential book for any fan of the series, and even if there is a passing interest I would think this would be a great choice. It really is a wonderful compilation and has become a revered tome in my house!

Bought this for my 5yr old son who, as a Lego enthusiast, became an instant Lego Ninjago fan after finding episodes of it on Netflix. Now I feel it's relevant to point out he doesn't watch a lot of tv, and I always try to limit the content to his age, so I was worried with a Y7 rating for the show it would be over his head, but being lego characters really helped to diminish the fighting & bad guys to a more little-kid friendly level. However, I think he had a hard time keeping all the characters & story lines straight, so I started searching for a book. We had received the Lego Batman guide book that's similar to this as a gift awhile back, so when I saw this one I thought it would be a hit. I definitely UNDERESTIMATED just how much he would like this. Over a year later he still looks at this book about 3 - 4 times a week and has become a Ninjago character expert. I've since been searching for new versions that will include the newer seasons, as this one is only season 1 and 2. It doesn't cover much of the story line, but it shows all the lego vehicles & sets associated with certain scenes and episodes (which is good and bad, becuase in the back there's a full list of all the ninjago sets by year and product number . . .for easy ordering for mom or dad!! yikes.) Anyways, if your child is a fan of Lego Ninjago, I'd recommend this book.

Bon, bien sûr, elle est en anglais... Mais non moins facile à lire pour un adulte qui voudrait aider son enfant en traduisant les textes, et puis je pars du principes que c'est une bonne motivation pour les enfants pour apprendre l'anglais! ^_^ Elle est tellement agréable à feuilleter, que les enfants, même sans comprendre les textes, ne se lasseront pas de la regarder et de découvrir l'univers des ninjagos à travers ses pages. En découvrant ce genre d'encyclopédie, h'ai d'abord été prise d'un doute, mes enfants vont-ils se mettre à réclamer tout le contenu du livre? Eh bien, non seulement ils ne le font pas, mais ils ont, à la lecture de ces pages, plein d'idées pour construire diverses machines et personnages avec les "moyens du bord". Et ils en sont bien contents! Le légo offert dans ce livre, Llyod Garmadon, est très chouette et a particulièrement plu à mes petits loups, d'autant qu'il n'est pas si facile que ça à obtenir autrement... Vu le prix de la figurine seule (sans sets légo), ça vaut presque le coup d'acheter l'encyclopédie rien que pour ça... ;-) Mais bon, sans le personnage, l'encyclopédie vaut aussi le coup, alors à ce prix-là, pourquoi se priver de ce plaisir?

Tiene información detallada sobre la Serie NinjaGo de una manera clara y sencilla, de modo que es fácil entenderle (tengo 10 años). También me gustan mucho las imágenes y la Minifigura exclusiva.

Bellissimo prodotto anche se scritto in inglese, a mio figlio piace molto, è molto interessante ed è bello vedere un bambino che spende molto tempo con il libro in mano e da un senso al suo mondo di gioco. Ha capito che gli adulti hanno usato il loro tempo per raccontare e descrivere un gioco che a loro piace molto.... e anche a qualche adulto..credo..!!! Anche io cpmincio a capire la magia dei ninjaaaa!!!!

É um bom livro, com figuras de tudo que foi produzido até as duas primeiras temporadas, meu filho adorou e aprendeu a dizer os nomes dos personagens e suas cores.

Das Buch ist gut eingeschlagen und die Figur fand meine Sohnemann super. Es ist in Englisch, was ja auch in der Beschreibung so stand und ich find's gut, so kann ich meinem Zwerg gleich ein wenig beibringen und er lernt weil er im Moment von NinjaGo einfach begeistert ist.
