Betty White to Publish Two Books

Posted on August 20, 2010

Betty White will write two books for G. P. Putnam's Sons. The first book, titled Listen Up!, will draw upon life lessons learned during her long career in Hollywood, with an emphasis on the extraordinary past 15 years of the star's life. The second book, titled The Zoo and I: Betty and Her Friends, will be filled with stories and photographs capturing the daily life of her animal friends at the zoo. Betty White is a long-time member of the board of the Los Angeles Zoo, and she has been a passionate supporter of animal health and welfare her entire life.

Putnam is planning to publish the first book in hardcover in Spring 2011 and the second book in hardcover in 2012.

Betty White said, "Much as I love what I do for a living in show business, I love writing even more - so I am thrilled to be working on not only one new book but two of them."
