This nonfiction book is full of animal facts and LEGO minifigures. Over 60 animals are covered in this informational book. The different topics include arctic animals, woodland animals, rain forest animals, mountain animals, desert animals, grassland animals, and water animals. There is a beautiful photograph and a paragraph or two that describes characteristics about each animal, a box of mini-facts that include the type of animal, what food they eat, what sound they make, what the name of the baby animal is and what the group name is. There are also LEGO figurines on each page with additional facts. The fun part about this book are the LEGO challenges on each page. Some challenges want you to imagine something, build something with LEGOS or play a little game. Very interactive and informative book for all ages! ( )
