Lego instrucional book?

[elaineandmichaelsmommy]

Is there a book in existance that shows children how to build items out of what they already have? DD1 loves her legos but has trouble getting past 4 walled structures. I think she needs instructions along the lines of the instruction books that come with the kits. Is there such a thing?

DS got the Lego Play Book from the library and asked for it for Christmas. http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Play-Book-Ideas-Bricks/dp/1465414126/ref=pd_sim_b_6

DS1 (6) just got the Lego Play book (above) which causes a mess in the floor daily. DS2 wants his own copy b/c DS1 won't let it out of his sight.
DS2 (4) is getting another version of the other listed above Totally Cool Creations http://www.amazon.com/Totally-Cool-Creations-Trucks-Robots/dp/1250031109/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y
DD (7) is getting one of the Lego Adventure books, and I'm going to tell her to substitute some of her pink legos for the other colors, which I think will add enough of a challenge to really engage her. http://www.amazon.com/The-LEGO-Adventure-Book-Vol/dp/1593275129/ref=pd_sim_b_2
