pickReceived to review, ages ago. My bad.
This ended up pretty fascinating, and I'm definitely getting my dad a copy. It covers the underlying principles that constrain Lego sets, design considerations, the physics of it, and much of the history of various sets and themes.
I remember these horses! I had no idea they were kinda "controversial" internally at Lego.
The bit you can see around the saddle area was a brick you could take out, so a mini-figure's legs could be put in instead, to look like they were riding the horse.
I think I might've found Dad's Christmas present, this goes into stuff like the physics of how Lego bricks connect. I don't always follow, but I'm finding it interesting too.
I would use this book to teach confidence, and to teach my students to be themselves no matter what someone else thinks about you.

pickPicture Book- Waiting by Kevin Henkes (2015) Caldecott honor-Author uses gentle, muted colors — browns, pinks, green-blue tones — that feel soothing and calm. The pages often have light, neutral backgrounds, which help the toys and small changes outside the window stand out without overwhelming the eye.
