*This post is brought to you in partnership with Scholastic. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. Opinions are my own.
As parents, we want to raise readers. I love watching my children get caught up in a good book.When most children go to select a book, they reach for a fiction book. We all love stories, but I want my kids to be well-rounded readers who also have a love of non-fiction.
LEGO® Nonfiction to the rescue!
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.
