Ann and Spencer Johnson wrote a series of children's books in the '70s which had the intent of teaching children a set or morals. Although critics have claimed these books fell short of succeeding, history has proven to this bookseller that the critics were perhaps a little too critical. Over the years, I've sold many titles over and over. I've tried unsuccessfully to locate each title in order to have a complete set. A few of the titles are particularly hard to find and I am always looking for even the more common ones. Teachers as well as parents are always in search of these titles and it's becoming harder for me to keep them in stock for any length of time.

Following is a list of all titles published by year. A few of them have been reprinted so it may appear that I've duplicated titles. Ignore the numbers -- they do not indicate order of any kind except to keep me focused. In other words, title #1 is not necessarily the first title in the series. And please do not take this information to be gospel -- it is merely what I've learned thus far and is subject to change/correction.

As time permits, I will compile a complete list of titles only (no subtitles, authors, or ISBNs) in order to have a "scout for" list. Check back periodically for that list and be sure to let me know if you have any you are wanting to sell!

And, lastly, any title that is a hyper-link will take you to my website where that book is available for purchase. If the book has been sold, the hyper-link won't work anymore but I try to stay on top of that. Titles that are not a hyper-link are currently not in stock.
