3. Write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line.
4. To respond, contact the person who or organization which has posted the

Subject:Looking for a children's book

This is a request for a book which I used as a child - I was born
in 1938.

Unfortunately the book was lost and I was wondering if any of your readers 
would perhaps have a copy of it.
I do not know the title but it was a book of verses.
One of the poems in it - and I quote the first four lines:

Alle zogen ikh bin shain
Varvos ikh bin gevaksen klain
Ikh ken tantsn, deklamiren
Mamas gest tsu amusiren

Here's hoping someone recognizes the verse.

My e-mail is  nbloch2 at gmail.com

Many thanks.
