Much like with my other blogs this year, I’ve decided to look at a LEGO picture book that is perfect for the Halloween season. And this book was quite a treat for a LEGO fan as it featured so many minifigures that can be purchased such as the mad scientist fig on the front of the cover. The main location where this book mostly takes place is the actual Haunted House LEGO set.
As a LEGO fan, I appreciate these little details as they help to immerse you into the LEGO world of the book.
Author
Matt Huntley
Sorry, I don’t have an image of the author here. Anyways, Huntley seems to mostly work on kids’ books for various IPS as looking him up shows he has also written books for Paw Patrol, TMNT, and Dungeons & Dragons among other series along with other LEGO books.
That’s a pretty cool pedigree to have and I gotta say that these books are a nice way to introduce younger fans to these properties.
The Plot
The plot is admittedly pretty simple but it’s a picture book for young kids so that makes sense. Three friends, Marnia, Matt, and Kenji have just finished visiting every house passing out candy.
That’s when they come to the house of Dr. Brickenstein which is the haunted house in town and are at first scared off when hearing the good doctor has a surprise and this scares the trio after seeing Dr. Brickenstein working in his lab. It turns out that there was nothing to be afraid of though as the doctor was creating special treats that would let the kiddos build things aka LEGO bricks. And all the neighborhood kids come to his house and start building and have a fun Halloween.
So our three friends learned not to jump to conclusions about people and realized that the doctor just wanted to provide something fun for the kids that lasts longer than candy.
My Final Thoughts
This is a fun and cute little LEGO book for the Halloween season that I can’t help but think that kids would love it. And as a LEGO fan every page was such a treat seeing references to actual sets and minifgures.
