“Unique and Faithful Biblical Retelling”

If you’re looking for a fresh and unique way to share the Nativity story with your little ones, then The Christmas Story: Brick by Brick by Rachael Hood with builds by Joshua Whitehouse is a must-have!

This book could not have come at a better time. We went to Legoland over the summer and watched the Lego movies for the first time when we got back. All of this sparked a love of Legos for my 5-year-old daughter. She was so excited to read this book, and we spent a lot of time looking at the very impressive and masterful builds by Joshua Whitehouse. If you have a fellow Lego-loving kiddo then they will adore this book too, and there is a link at the end of the book to learn how to build your own Nativity!

While the builds will captivate even the littlest one’s attention, the writing is just as enchanting. It is written as a rhyme and flows beautifully, following a repetitive pattern with the words, “They didn’t expect it. They’d never have guessed.” It is a faithful Biblical retelling of the birth of Christ that is a joy to read aloud. Yes, it shows the wise men by the manger, but this book was leading to the building of the Nativity scene as we know it at Christmas. And the build is stunning!!

“God’s people were waiting for God’s special plan. For he’d promised a King filled with power and might who could banish the bad stuff and make all things right!” This plan unfurls clearly and simply for all ages to comprehend, ending with Jesus is here! The answer to God’s special plan is Jesus, which is the ultimate message of this book even as you gaze at the builds of the angels, the shepherds, the wise men, and many more.

This book would make such a wonderful Christmas present.

“Hands-on and Engaging!”

The Christmas Story Brick by Brick by Rachael Hood is such a creative way to bring the Christmas story to life! Using LEGO scenes to depict the birth of Jesus, this book makes the story fun and interactive while staying faithful to Scripture. I’m excited to share it with my children this Christmas season, and I’m sure it will inspire some amazing LEGO creations of their own!

I love how this book blends hands-on building with faith, making the true meaning of Christmas engaging for kids. It’s definitely going to be a wonderful addition to our holiday celebrations!

“Creative way for the Gospel for kids”

Creative little book for Lego lovers about the Christmas story. It tells the Christmas story scene by scene with Lego characters and Lego setting.

I’m not too sure how I feel about Christ and the Angels being depicted by Legos. Interesting. The story is given in verse form- almost reads like a poem.

At the end they have Lego creations that the child can copy and make.
