Probably Eugene Field, a well know chlidren's poet. Or at least he was well known back when people read their children poetry. See Eugene Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Field) .

Thanks flyyakker. It might be a book by Eugene Fields. I was searching for information for someone trying to locate copies of a childhood book. Thanks for putting me on this trail.
