Listified!: Britannica’s 300 lists that will blow your mind
If you are looking for the perfect book for that kid (or adult) who is simply interested in everything, look no further. This book is chock-full of the most interesting facts, with over 300 lists that cover, well, just about everything.

Readers will discover amazing things: there are 35 types of snowflakes, 7 species of plants eat meat, 10 animals seem to have superpowers, 1.4 billion insects exist for each person on Earth, there are 4-6 million red blood cells in a drop of blood the size of a pinhead, a mushroom in Oregon covers an area equal to 15 soccer fields, in 2006 a four-year-old child from India ran a marathon, Louis XIX was king for only 20 minutes, and much more. It really covers all kinds of things!
The book is a feast for the eyes, filled with fun illustrations and photographs on pages of many colors. This isn’t just a bunch of lists. There are chunks of text that give more information. The writing is conversational, engaging, and well-researched. This is a real winner!
