Illustrated by
Júlia Sardà.
An eccentric family is obsessed with making "lists most usual. And lists most unusual" (e.g. Mama's "lists of ghastly illnesses and the greatest soccer players"). One day a visitor arrives, adding a new perspective to their concept of list-making with his stream of philosophical questions. Gloomy, macabre-style illustrations add to the esoteric feel of this peculiar nonsense tale for older picture book readers.
