I remember the book had a brown hardcover with I think, orange lettering. I don't remember it having a "Genie" on it. And Yes, I'm still looking for it.If anyone has one in good condition they want to sell, please send me an email. Thank you. GG Vi

I got this book from a man at church but it does not say when the copyright date was but it does have a genie on the front cover.

I have one, It's my favority book, it's threatening to fall apart. Illustrations were by Robert J Lee? Picture of a Genie on the front throwing jewels from a basket?

There's a website called "abebooks.com". I was able to replace every book I've ever lost for just a few dollars (sometimes the postage was more than the book!). They even found MY favorite book as a child in the first edition copy ($600). I hope they can find yours!

Try e-Bay. The book titles are limitless

I searched Worldcat and found one library that has what i believe to be the book you are looking for. it is in the Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland, Ohio.
That was the only library listed with a copyright in the 1940's. Your library could probably order it for you through interlibrary loan.
