Way of the Ninja (LEGO Ninjago: Reader) Paperback – February 1, 2012

Ninjago, ninjago, ninjago... That seems to be all I hear about from my 6 year old grandson these days. The world stops when a new Ninjago show is on TV, and he watches those same shows over and over again. Of course, we have to have the Ninjago minifigures and the Ninjago Lego sets. I'm waiting for the Lego Ninjago video game to come out, of course!So how do you turn an all-encompassing passion into something at least slightly educational? A book! I was so happy when I saw these early readers!I purchased Book #1 and #2 for my grandson's birthday (the big 6), and at first, he wasn't too enthused. But when it came to bedtime and I pulled out the new books, and we cuddled and read together - he was much more excited. And I can already see him sitting down by himself to read through the books on his own.The books are geared towards first through third grade readers, I believe, and the story line runs hand in hand with the TV shows of the same name. My grandson is in Kindergarten, so some words are out of his reach, but because he is such a Ninjago fan, he worked at figuring out and sounding out the words he didn't know. Success!If you have a little Ninjago fan in your house, don't hesitate with these books. It's nice to slide in an educational opportunity without the child fully realizing that's what you're doing... and you might just create a love of reading that he will have for his entire life. Here's hoping!

It was great for him to read and also awesome that this book is an AR book which helps him with being tested in school.

My grandson loves Ninjago and I am giving this in his birthday. Book arrived in great condition on time. I recommend.

It's a fun story with lovely pictures. It's suitable for young readers, but it would still hold the attention of an older child as well.

nice big clear pictures, story matches the tv show well and the kids know the storyline which helps them follow along in the book. my kids are not reading yet but the words are large and clear and i think this book will do nicely when we go from me reading it to them

I bought a bunch of these books for my nephew's sixth birthday. He loves them! He loves it more when I read them with him because we watched the show together so I can pronounce the names correctly.The stories are more or less based on the series and are super fun to read! He's learning his sight words and gets so excited when he picks them out!

From an adult perspective, all of these Ninjago books are terrible. Convoluted, boring, nonsensical stories with surprisingly little action. Dumb, irrelevant dialogue. No useful life lessons or role models. Weak, uninspiring main characters who aren't even good at martial arts (three of them get tied to a tree by two skeletons, and their Sensei can't even beat his nemesis' subordinate).The series is incomplete and not even numbered, so it's impossible to follow the timeline. And what the hell is Ninjago anyway? A place? A way of life? Something you yell before you go into battle? You guessed it - all three.Inexplicably, however, my five year-old twins (boy/girl) claim to love them. Even my daughter chooses them over Pinkalicious (I think she has a crush on Jay).In short, you'll hate the books, but your kids might like them, so I suggest you buy them only if your kids can read them by themselves.

Grandson is 7. Great book of interest to a Lego ninjago fan. Some difficult words for me, but he knew all of Lego Ninjago lingo. I figure anything making the child want to read is a good product. Colorful pictures on each page.

Good

My son has very much Ed enjoyed reading these books. Highly recommended for children who love Lego Ninjargo. Great stories and good value for money.

Excelente! Comprei para meu sobrinho. Acabamento e impressão de ótima qualidade. Indicado, especialmente para crianças e adolescentes, por possuir reduzido número de páginas e pouco texto. Contribui e estimula o aprendizado da língua inglesa. Recomendado!

Super thin book. I was little disappointed.

This book is the best, it was an easy read. Lots of ninjas and lego. Can't wait to read the next one.
