    Listified! Britannica’s 300 Lists That Will Blow Your Mind

    Written by Andrew Pettie

    Illustrated by Andrés Lozano

    Ages 5+ | 416 Pages

    Publisher: Britannica Books | ISBN: 9781912920754

    What to Expect: Facts, history, science, lists

    What’s the best way to tackle a new subject? With a list, of course! Like the world-renowned Encyclopedia Britannica, these kid-friendly Britannica offerings are filled to bursting with expert and authoritative information on just about everything. Here are just a few of the lists you’ll find listed in this massive book of lists: a list of common types of clouds, a list of the six fastest-growing plants, a list of eight dinosaur theories that turned out to be wrong, a list of the ten animals that can go the longest without food, a list of the average amounts of time humans spend doing everyday activities, and a list of twenty-four different shapes of pasta.

    Covering everything from volcanos and bicycles to robots and insects, this master compendium of lists has fun facts on just about every topic you can think of. Not sure where to start? Try the “List to Get Us Started” at the beginning, or the “List of Things You Might Want to Look Up” at the end!

    Listified! is a beautiful volume with a glossy hardback cover and full-color illustrations that combine high-definition photography and cartoon imagery that extends even to the table of contents, index, and endpapers. At the same time, like any good reference book, it contains an extensive glossary, index, reference list, and even footnotes, making it an excellent introduction to reference book navigation and formatting. Most importantly of all, however, this volume is absolutely fascinating. One fact leads to another, one list leads to another, and readers are sure to spend hours longer than they meant to, soaking up the fascinating facts.

    Listified! is a fantastic home, library, or classroom book.
