Listomania

Includes a cardstock cover, a pencil set in a die cut slot, and an attached elastic band for keeping the book closed (and private) and holding interior pages open for writing. Inside the pages are illustrations, fun topic-related trivia, and 4-dozen+ kid-accessible topics--favorite food, sports, music, books, vacations, thoughts about school, friends, family, and the near and farther-away future.

A lifelong list-maker (groceries, to-do, book ideas, what to pack, buy, etc.), Harriet Ziefert respects and relishes the practicality and fun of cataloging and taking inventory of all sorts of plans, products, and possibilities. Her own list of children's books totals somewhere north of 200. Someday Harriet will sit down with a pencil and paper and make a full list so that she can know the exact number. Among the list of her many accomplishments, she is a frequent creative partner with Simms Taback and the founder of Blue Apple Books. The author lives in South Orange, NJ.
