Booklist Review: "Kenney proves that anything, from skyscrapers to plants to portraits, can be made with LEGOs, and this book is a love letter to his clear passion. The book is divided into themes of Kenney's creations, and every page displays his art in vivid, full-color photographs, either up close so that individual bricks are visible, or from such a distance that it's sometimes hard to believe LEGOs are involved at all. Kenney describes the sculptures with glee, and there's enough text next to each piece to be interesting without going into too much detail. If the book suffers at all, it's in its organization: the section dedicated to the actual design of the creations might have been better off appearing first so that readers can appreciate just how much work goes into each piece and grasp the importance of the design phase. To be fair, the book isn't a step-by-step instructional guide; Kenney has other booksjust for that purpose. Rather, this is a celebration of what bricks, a little imagination, and a lot of persistence can achieve. Inspiring stuff for LEGO fans.--Linsenmeyer, Erin Copyright 2018 Booklist"
