With LEGO® creations targeted for children as young as five, this colorful, interactive series features mom-tested step-by-step instructions for things that float, including kayaks, jet skis, sailboats, barges, cruise ships, and more.

Speedboat, kayak, super yacht...what will you build today? From the popular series of visually rich instruction books for LEGO® creations, this book highlights sailboats, sports boats, canoes and kayaks, fancy yachts--even Jet Skis—all things that float on water. Customized for children ages 5 and up, there's a range of creative models to put together using the LEGO® Classic set 10695, LEGO® Architecture Studio 21050, or bricks that LEGO® obsessives may already have at home. Each book in this interactive series contains 3-5 “dioramas” featuring a diverse range of models. Full color, step-by-step diagrams guide readers through the building process, enhancing the fun.
