Stephanie's Beach House puts on full display LEGO's renowned penchant for detail. That attention to the little things creates a level of nuance that makes this a world any girl (or boy) would be thrilled to inhabit. Assembling it is a very big part of the fun. The illustrated instructions are easy to follow, and the patience and care taken in putting it all together are rewarded by feelings of excitement and pride every step of the way. When it's finished, Stephanie's Beach House provides a fertile playground for the imagination. The miniature Stephanie and Kate figures, decked out in bright summer gear, fit perfectly into the attractive surroundings, and it's a joy watching kids conjure up endless adventures populated with unique personalities and back-stories. There are 369 pieces, including all sorts of accoutrements - a windsurfer, radio, TV, telescope, decorative flowerpots, a sofa/bed, even a bathroom with a toilet. From the enviably beautiful multi-room decor to the well-stocked kitchen and open decks, Stephanie's Beach House provides a wellspring for the imagination.
