I’m trying to find the title of a childrens book that my sister had as a child. She had it before I was born, so it was published in 1959 at the latest. She thinks that it was either a Golden Book or a Wonder Book.
The only lines she remembers are:
"A pig came in for a pound of chops,
A beaver bought some forget-me-nots.
A cockatoo asked for some lemon drops
to take to Baltimore.
Beelzebub the Lion Cub had a swimming pool…"
Any help will be greatly appreciated as this could result in MAJOR brownie points for yours truly.
My sister and I have found the titles to several books through this place. In fact, her next birthday present will be a book I haven’t told her yet I found. I even solved one title search myself.
Thank you Shirley . I love it. BTW, the book I’m getting for my sister is titledAdventure in Forgotten Valley. We both read it when we were kids, and forgot title and author. But I posted a stumper and detailed what we *did * remember, and we had an answer in less than a week. The “solver” actually posted an index that had over a thousand titles in “prehistoric fiction”, and when I went to it I round it there, after a short search.
