About How to Be a Ninja

Reach for this book when you have a young child who is obsessed with toys but resists sitting down with a story. It is the perfect bridge for a 'reluctant reader' who needs a familiar, high-interest hook to build their confidence. By using the world of LEGO Ninjago, the book transforms the chore of reading into an extension of play. The book introduces the core Ninjago team and their unique elemental powers, focusing on Master Wu's lessons about training and persistence. While it features ninjas and weapons, the underlying message emphasizes that true strength comes from teamwork and self-discipline. It is a Level 2 reader, meaning it is designed for kids who are starting to recognize sight words and can follow simple sentences with help. Parents will appreciate how it validates their child's existing interests while gently pushing them toward independent literacy.
