I have seen a number of letters over the not too distance past about "lost"
children's books. Patrons requesting info about a book they read as a child
but couldn't remember the name of.
Here is a site that may be of some interest.
http://vancouver.cbc.ca/nxnw/lostbooks.html
Here is a quoted blurb from the page:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lost Childhood Books
Do you have a favourite book memory from your childhood with an amazing
character or a thrilling plot or fantastic illustrations -BUT- you can't
for the life of you remember the title or the author? Maybe it was a book
you borrowed from the library or a friend or your teacher brought it to
class. Maybe you only read it once but something about it left a lasting
impression. Would you like to recapture that literary magic from your past,
perhaps share it with a child in your life today? Well, we'd like to help.
If you have enough clues, we'll have our own special children's book
sleuth Terry Clark (also known as the Head Children's Librarian, Main
Branch, Vancouver Public Library) take your case.
Send us any details you can remember and we'll search high and low, bring
in the experts and share the Lost Book of Your Childhood with our
listeners. Leave your stories (complete with your name and how to reach
you) at [removed]@cbc.ca

For non locals, CBC is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The above
show referred to is "North by Northwest" airing on CBC1 6-9 am on weekend
mornings.
