The LEGO Zoo: 50 Easy-to-Build Animals<\/a>\"\" by Jody Padulano<\/strong> is a LEGO idea book aimed at younger kids, but useful for old people too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe book goes through complete LEGO style instruction for building a veritable ark of animals, including a liting of parts (including LEGO part number) and step by step instructions.
\n\"\"
\nThe vast majority, probably all, of the pats used for these anmals are parts most LEGO builders will have laying around if you’ve built and stashed a dozen or more kits. There are a few specialized pieces like eyes, that you probably do have some form of. If you need to you can buy pieces st sources suggested in the book.
\n\"\"
\nHelpfully, and as part of the focus on younger audiences, the author gives advice on how to sort and thus more usefully store your LEGO bricks, so you can more easily find the ones you need to build out-of-kit projects like those suggested here.<\/p>\n

The book also includes a glossary of LEGO brick types, which is helpful.<\/p>\n

This is a great gift for some kid you know, five and up, who has a big pile of LEGs and a Winter Break coming up!
