It doesn't surprise me that this whimsical book that imagines the life of various Lego mini figures is published by Chronicle Books as this is exactly the kind of quality quirky content that I expect from the publisher.

I loved this. My toddler is a lego fanatic and he enjoyed this. He’s always making things and making me make things. Loads of tiny lego pieces all over the floor all the time.

This is such a fun and hilarious book. I definitely was not expecting it to be so funny and more aimed at an adult demographic. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my digital review copy.

This collection of cartoons-made-out-of-LEGO was funny, and the set-ups were so meticulous, and creative, the characters seemed alive.
Whether you love LEGO, or just have fond childhood memories, this will brighten your day.

Each page of this charming LEGO publication is bursting with humour. The scenes all revolve around puns that will delight older children and adults actually proper laughing

Anyone who’s a fond of dad jokes and enjoys a good pun will be in treat.

Some of the jokes may go over the heads of younger readers, but I like that kind of humour that the kids don’t get what the adults are laughing about.

Thanks Netgalley for the read in exchange for an honest review.

Each page of this charming LEGO book is bursting with laughs. The scenes all revolve around puns that will delight older children and adults. Fans of dad jokes and punny humor will be in stitches.

Some of the jokes may go over the heads of younger children, and there is an instance of "what the hell?" that some parents may not find appropriate for their younger kids.

As a huge AFFOL (Adult Female Fan of LEGO), these are books I love perusing in the bookstore. I am always looking for ideas for building or LEGO humor.  This book made me laugh out loud several times, it was so creative!  The police line up, Rapunzel, Trojan Horse, Yellow Pants and the Magician were my favorites. Super fun book for any LEGO fan!

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book makes use of a popular series in engaging ways. I’d gladly add it to my classroom or school library, and would be excited to see the creative responses of young readers.

Aled Lewis is a Lego lover with a sense of humor. The humor in his book Lego Small Parts: The Secret Life of Minifigures fits right in with the silliness of the Lego movies and video games that my kids enjoy. (Who am I kidding? I love them, too!)

Lewis's Lego creations in Lego Small Parts are scenes with minifigures going about their days, captioned in the style of single-panel cartoons. Many, but not all, have Lego inside jokes, like the figure who stepped on a Lego brick barefoot, or the many jokes about minifigures' hair and hats.

If you are a Lego fan at all, you will appreciate the little details in Lewis's creations and you will love the silly Lego humor.

Thank you for the opportunity to review an ARC of LEGO Small Parts: The Secret Life of Minifigures in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a collection of photographs of Lego mini-figures in humorous situations. The photographs include captions and dialogue similar to a comic style approach. There are nerdy references (you shall not pass! in the race scene was one of my favs). This book reminds me of a popular Instagram account Lego Graduate Student who is often seen in relatable circumstances, such as tired at a meeting or annoyed with a faulty printer. One of the things I like about lego art (and why I requested to look at this book on Netgalley) is the creativity that the designers have with the figurines and props. Yes, some of the jokes are cheesy, but they still make me smile. I like the lil' Lego worlds and this book would make a good gift for someone who is 1) into Legos and/or 2) someone who likes puns and humor books.

This is a lovely album with funny, punny and witty comments on the panels depicting the secret life of LEGO minifigures. Highly recommended, very enjoyable.

I really liked this book, you tend to just think of LEGO being bricks or sculptures/models and this one showed that they can be so much more! I liked the use of the bricks to create the different scenes, some were very funny and did make me giggle! This is an ideal read and gift for the LEGO fans out there! It is 4 stars from me for this one!

I'm a fan of Lego and generally found this collection of comics cute!

There were really only a few of the comics that made me laugh out loud, but they're generally clever.

It's a short and humorous read!

Review to come September 11th to my blog/goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Another Lego book, I am so happy to see more Lego books up on Netgalley as I am a big big fan of Lego (building, collecting, etc.).

This one is all about the daily lives of the minifigures that live in the Lego World. Each page is a different life of minifigures. We see someone identify criminals, we see Rapunzel and that had me in complete stitches, yeah, that is what you get when you ask someone made from lego to put their hair down, we see a bouncy castle... gone wrong, and much more. I had so many giggles while reading this one and I just love the situations the author/photographer made. There were just so so much fun, and I loved a peek in the lives of all the different minifigures, what a life they have! Some normal, some wild, some out of this world.

I definitely would like to add this book to my collection, I am also pretty sure that my husband will enjoy it as he is another big lego lover.

I would recommend this fun book to everyone who loves Lego.

I wish I could write a review for this title, but I can’t download it. I’ve tried on three different devices. 😕 I am sure it is a great book though!

When I saw this book, I was hoping for something that would be cute, colorful and light hearted to pull me out of a bad day that I was having. This book accomplished that and more!

A lot a humor, some on the nose and some a little deeper, but overall, a nice quirky read.

My favorites would have to be Rapunzel's hair, the Trojan horse, the alien abduction, and Gandalf in a go-cart.

This is a cute book, and would be great for any Lego lover, kid, or adult that's a kid at heart.

If you ask people: "When you hear 'Lego', what's the first thing that comes to mind?"
Probably "building things" is the most popular and widely given answer you will find

What's less known is that Lego-characters have absolutely a will of their own
And turn out to have a great sense of humour, once their thoughts are shown


Aled Lewis knows all about that.
Through this small book of 64 pages he gives us an insight into what's going on in the heads of those funny yellow characters who live in the world of Lego.

Every page displays a joke, most of the times through 1 panel but sometimes also through 4 panels.
The settings are very varied: from hairdresser to surgery room, from prehistory to aliens, from prison to filmset, …
Some jokes are rather predictable, but most of them are really original.

Conclusion: Refreshing and funny point of view on the world of Lego.

Small Parts looks at the world and every day life through the prism of Legos.  It is a wry take on common situations.  Those who put this book together really know how to use their Legos to good advantage.  A personal favorite of mine was the scene in which one Lego said to another, I feel like I am talking to a brick wall.  If this humor appeals to you, you will enjoy this title.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

This small book packs a lot of wit and entertainment! I found myself laughing at almost every page - Lewis does a great job dreaming up humorous scenarios for his LEGO characters. I plan to buy this book as a stocking stuffer for family members who love LEGO.

This is a cute, short book that combines Lego builds with speech bubbles and humorous punchlines. It is listed as adult nonfiction, but does not have any inappropriate jokes that would bar Lego-loving children from reading it as well. There is some mild potty humor, one use of the world "hell," and a couple of non-sexual jokes about minifigure nudity, but that's it.

Personally, I didn't find this especially funny. Some of the jokes made me laugh, but for the most part, they were pretty basic, and I just enjoyed seeing the creative builds set up in the photographs. I would primarily recommend this book to Lego fans, because the book's primary appeal is in the builds and elements of Lego culture, not the textual humor itself. This is a fun option for both adults and children who love Legos, and can provide ideas of scenes that would be fun to build.
