Titles suggest that all are for elementary school children, or picture books for with a partly younger audience.

Only the earliest credits George Wilde as a writer: The Puppy Who Found a Boy (Wonder Books, (c)1951), unpaged; "story and pictures by George and Irma Wilde".

More than 30 records credit Irma Wilde, commonly as writer and illustrator, perhaps always for young children, probably first published 1950 to 1968.
