The Liszts

Longlisted for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2018

The Liszts make lists. Lists most usual and most unusual. They make lists every day except Sundays, which are listless.

Mama Liszt, Papa Liszt, Winifred, Edward, Frederick and Grandpa Liszt make lists all day long. So does their cat. Then one day a visitor arrives. He's not on anyone's list. Will the Liszts be able to make room on their lists for this new visitor? What will they do when something unexpected happens? Kyo Maclear's quirky, whimsical story is perfectly brought to life with the witty, stunning illustrations of debut picture book artist Júlia Sardà. Discover this humorous, poignant and unforgettable celebration of spontaneity.
