Great kid's version of the grown-up's one

I'm so glad there is a "kid's" version of the Listography book! It will be perfect for my 10-year-old. I have the Listography book (grown up version) and it's great, but it asks for lists of things that are related to "grown up" activites, like drinking, and sex. The kid's version is just as colorful and fun (if not more so) as the "grown ups" version,) and is much more appropriate for teens and tweens. The reading level is such that I don't recommend it for those under 4th grade, unless your child is advanced. It's a great alternative to a journal, since the lists don't require as much writing, but you still get to know something about yourself. Even if your kid doesn't enjoy writing, they might be willing to use this. It will make a wonderful, fun keepsake to pull out decades later and review!

Great for families

We got this for our eight year old daughter and ended up doing it with the whole family (11 and 14 year old daughters too). Once or twice a week, we'd get the list book and everyone would grab a piece of paper and make their list and then we'd share it. This year we are getting cool notebooks for each of them and then we will do the 'list game' and other stuff in them. It will be fun for our girls to look back on the lists when they are older. Very easy activity for all ages.

Fun journal for the young...and the young at heart

What better way to get to know yourself than by ranking your favorites in all aspects of life? From the basics---like favorite foods, books, music, etc.---to some more thought-provoking ideas---such as jobs you might like to try some day and what would happen if your parents left you alone for a day---and ending with the self-esteem building "List all the great things about you!", they've even thoughtfully included some space at the back for you to come up with your own lists! Each list is paired with an amusing illustration to help get the creative juices flowing. A nice quality book with a durable soft cover. Buy one for yourself or as a great gift for friends! Also, don't miss the "Listography" and "Love Listography" journals, geared more specifically toward adults and couples, respectively.

Very cool

This book is great, I can't wait to start it. It can be for kids or adults, and will provide hours of entertainment. Some favorite "categories" of this book of lists include, "...the jobs you may like to have one day, superpowers you wish you had, favorite things about your family, what your perfect day would be like, and your most memorable dreams." The pictures are cute, and look like watercolors. This would make a great gift for anyone who's creative, wants to be more creative, and of course...loves lists!

Awesome book!

This book is SO cool I am going to order it for every kid I know, for Christmas. I can't recommend this book enough. The illustrations are perfect and the lists will be fun for anyone to fill out. The quality of the book and pages is really nice too. Great price, great book - do yourself a big favor and order a bunch for all the kids you know!!!
