Minecraft: Essential Handbook Review: Great for Minecraft Crazy Beginners! - My girls have recently gotten into Minecraft on their iPad Minis and have been completely obsessed. They want to play all the time. Most of the time they are just messing around on it. We asked them if they would be interested in some books about Minecraft and they jumped at the chance. We purchased the Minecraft Essential Handbook and the Minecraft Construction Handbook for them and they loved them. They share the books back and forth and flip through them to get ideas for building things. They are using the iPad Pocket Edition that doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the PC version has, but these books are still good for general guidance and ideas. They are great beginner books to get them thinking about other things they can create. There are three other official books and a compilation of all of them if you want even more. If you have a beginner at Minecraft, these books are worth a look. Review: Great for kids - Obviously, this book isn't going to make you an expert by any means... but it is exactly what I was looking for. My 5 year old son is less than excited about reading but LOVES MineCraft. He'll read a word or two and then just shuts down. The day this book came in he couldn't wait to read it, PERFECT. It's not really "new reader friendly" but when I point to a word that he knows or can sound out, he actually does it! Best $5 I've spent since we ordered the PS3 version, lol. The book is written so well that my wife could sit down and play with the boys even though she knows nothing about the game. All of the basic recipes, their uses, useful tips, and, my sons favorite, stories from the "pros" and their first encounters with creepers. I will be ordering the rest of the "series" in the future. Hopefully the redstone one will teach me a thing or two! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #351,528 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #73,944 in Children's Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (926) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.5 x 7.75 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0545669936 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0545669931 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 80 pages | | Publication date | November 26, 2013 | | Publisher | Scholastic Inc. | | Reading age | 6 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![Minecraft: Essential Handbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81spBxweEqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Minecraft Crazy Beginners! *by D***E on May 15, 2015* My girls have recently gotten into Minecraft on their iPad Minis and have been completely obsessed.

Kids Loves these things! *by O***E on June 30, 2014* I remember when I was younger and loving video games, heck I still do. I also remember wanting the guide books to go with them, it was like a virtual adventure lol. When my 7 year old daughter asked for the two Minecraft books, I was skeptical because video game guide books when I grew up were usually made by Prima and cost $20-$30. Come to find out, even at B&N they were less than $9 I decided to get them for her. She loves Minecraft and the books, she reads them and reading is educational and improves her reading comprehension regardless of the material. I highly recommend these for any Minecraft fan. The quality of the hardcover is far greater than I expected for spending less than $5 for them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Minecraft: Essential Handbook - Minecraft: Construction Handbook: an Official Mojang Book - Minecraft Combat Handbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/854009-minecraft-essential-handbook](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/854009-minecraft-essential-handbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
