What is LEGO? / by Jim O'Connor ; illustrated by Ted Hammond.

O'Connor, Jim, (author.). Hammond, Ted, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"The LEGO toy company was founded in 1934 by a Danish carpenter who loved making wooden pull toys. From its humble beginnings, the company has lived up to its name--which comes from the Danish phrase meaning to always "play well"--encouraging children to use their imagination and build whatever they can dream up. In this book, author Jim O'Connor describes how a simple concept--small plastic bricks that snap together--morphed into a cultural phenomenon."-- Provided by publisher.
