Hi Everyone, I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm looking for a children's storybook, probably written in the 30's or 40's that starts out like this: Down to sunny Earth I came, I didn't even have a name, But my mother and my dad were so awfully glad, It was my birthday, don't you see? And they were expecting me! Any information would be very helpful! Thank you!

Friend, I just called and left a voice mail for a friend who might know, she used to work in a bookstore and collects antiquarian books. Anyhow, I hope she can help you. (Sorry I forgot to do this before now.)

You're welcome Friend... Unfortunately when my friend returned my call tonight, she told me she's never heard of it either. I'm really sorry. I did my best. Hope you do find it someday... ETA, my last suggestion: you might want to google the online antiquarian bookstores specializing in children's books, and then email them your question... those folks would know if anyone does.

I just heard back from a librarian friend of mine and she couldn't find anything on it either. Great idea about the antiquarian bookstores though. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again!
