About Story Books
What counts as a story book
These are narrative titles, from simple picture books to early readers, rather than reference works or activity books. Most of them are set in existing themes, so a child who already plays with City or Ninjago can follow the same characters on the page. The list starts in 1965 and already includes titles scheduled for 2027. Picture books suit reading aloud, while longer texts are aimed at children who have just started reading on their own.
The biggest extras
Harry Potter: Magical Year at Hogwarts (9781780559773-1) from 2023 comes with 73 pieces, the most in the theme. Cute Squad: Corgis Never Quit (9781837250332-1) from 2024 has 58. Ninjago: Dragons Rising: Play Stories (5007946-1) from 2023 includes 28 pieces, and its sister title Friends: Play Stories (5007945-1) includes 17. Star Wars: Stories from the Galaxy (LCS6301YDE-1), due in 2026, has 27. Even the largest extra is modest next to a regular set, so the story always comes first.
City on the page
City appears again and again. City: Cop vs. Robber (5007543-1) from 2020 and City: Space Spectacular (LCS6003YDE-1) from 2026 both include 16 pieces, usually enough for a figure and a small accessory. If a book's extras have gone astray, the parts list shows what to look for, and What can I build? on Bricoria can suggest what else your loose pieces might make. Several recent titles carry a catalogue number starting with LCS rather than an ISBN. Minifigure collectors also keep an eye on this theme, because many books include a figure.
