About the Author
Jennifer Kemmeter spent her early career working in marketing and economics at a multinational firm. Her twin sons became captivated by Lego (R) products early in life, and as she built models together with them, she was thrilled to see her boys so engaged in a creative and problem-solving activity. As their passion became contagious, Kemmeter began a new career as a designer, author, and publisher of children's books.

"Build It! has made family bonding time much more fun!" * womenandtheirpretties.net *
"What's great about them is that they present kids with things they realistically can build. Parents will like the books because they clearly state on the back of the book which LEGO Classic Set will build the projects in the books. Diagrams, that are great for ages 5 and up, help kids break out of their LEGO 'kit' mode." * Daddy Mojo *
"Perfect for young children, who should be able to follow the instructions and build the models themselves. . . A very nice series that can keep young LEGO fans busy for a long time." * The Brick Blogger *
