Jean Craighead George

Jean Craighead George has been a writer of children's books with a naturalist theme since 1948 and has written well over 100 books. The following is a biblio checklist of the author's work to date. The listed book are the first appearances of each title, and while I've tried to list all revised or re-illustrated books, later printings and paperbacks are not listed. Sources for this list are my own inventory and the Library of Congress Card Catalog.
