Books by Maggie Stern


		Thus far I have had five books published. I am currently working on young adult novels. And picture books. And short chapter books. I encourage you to support your local bookstore, but if you can't get to a store, can't find my books or need them quickly, you can buy them online. In association with Amazon.com, we've provided a link to the page where they list my books for sale. Click on their logo to open a new window at Amazon.com.

		GEORGE AND DIGGETY (Orchard Press, 2000) is the second of the George stories. These three stories center on George and his wacky, well-meaning dog, Diggety. Included in these three whimsical tales, is a delicious easy to make recipe for dog biscuits, eatable by dogs and people alike. Illustrations by Blanche Sims George and Diggety has been selected as one of the "Best Children's Books of the Year" for 2001 by The Children's Book Committee at Bank Street College of Education. Bank Street provides this supporting statement: "In choosing the annual list, reviewers consider literary quality and excellence of presentation as well as the potential emotional impact of the books on young readers."
