Oz for younger readers

 

Due to the efforts of several publishers, most notably Buckethead Enterprises of Oz (now Tales of the Cowardly Lion and Friends), there are a host of Oz books geared towards younger readers, many even written by youngsters themselves.  Though most can be read on their own, they are listed here chronologically in the order in which they could be perceived as occurring within the larger tapestry of the Oz universe. (Note: Not every publication listed here follows the thread established in the Mainline Timeline).  See the heading under Other Histories of Oz for more information).
