When he had a child, Craig put aside
childish things.
As
children do, Craig's daughter grew—leaving her
crib and infancy behind. She entered preschool,
kindergarten, grammar school.
Craig
again picked up childish things, buying his
daughter her first bucket of Legos. He sat on
the floor and played with small plastic blocks,
helping his daughter's plump fingers manipulate
them into place. As they worked together, Craig
learned to love Legos all over again.
The
child thrived. She entered middle school, high
school. She left Legos behind. Craig didn't. He
built houses, trains, fantasy landscapes.
Now a
wise young woman, Craig's daughter knows what to
give her dad this holiday: The Cult of Lego,
a gorgeous coffee table book he's sure to love.
Some
childish things just suit adults so very well.
