Review: Bought for a 9 year old, had to force myself not to keep it - Seriously cool book. Was purchased as a gift for a 9 year old girl who loves reading and learning - she seemed very into it! But honestly, I wanted to keep it for myself. There are some fascinating lists with great illustrations, and I think this would make a fantastic adult coffee table book as well. Probably gonna buy one for myself. Review: Good book for the curious kids - My kids like it, lots of pages and info.

Intresting
While not a page turner, the content is informative in several ways and amusing at times. Needless to say this book is a reference, not a fable.

Book looks great but damaged
Book looks great but I’m debating on return because it’s for a gift. Book binding has a rip at the top. It seems avoidable if they would have packaged better

Book review by Neil Dhar, aged 9
Do you really like learning facts? If so, I think that you will really like this book. I think Listified is a brilliant non-fiction book because it teaches you loads of cool, funny, and astonishing facts about the world around us. This book also has great pictures. Some facts in the book can be about mountains, nature, animals, space, and lots more interesting and fun topics. These facts can also have a use in things such as conversation, quizzes and for fun. One great feature of the book is that almost everything is in lists from the top ten in many subjects for example, the top ten most rare eye colours or the top ten tallest people or maybe the top ten tallest mountains on Earth. Another feature of the book is that some of the topics are quite random for example, 6 of the unluckiest people on Earth or 40 unusual laws in different countries! I would recommend this book to people who like funny books and who like to learn facts from all around the world. Out of 10, I would rate this book 10. I felt great after finishing the book. I really hope that this book review will persuade you into reading this book.

Really fun way to learn!
Listified is an absolutely brilliant book and highly recommended for the inquisitive minds of children (and adults!). My 6 year old daughter is completely obsessed and we are doing 2 pages each night before bed alongside the usual bed time story. The content is fascinating and clearly very well researched (I note another reviewer has missed the difference between mined platinum ore and .999 fine platinum bullion) with wonderful illustrations and pictures. Highly educational and a really fun way to learn.
