Multiple fairy tale/folklore children’s book 1960s. Stories include, Billy Goat Bluff, a wolf that got attacked by geese and had all red welts all over him, the Sun and the Wind story, a man trying to dig the moon reflection out of the water, a little boy (prince maybe) who kept pulling off his hat but another one would show up on his head. More stories in this one book but I can’t recall details.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
The story about the boy with hats is most likely Dr. Seuss’s story The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. If you look in the Loganberry archives at A384 at http://loganberrybooks.com/stump-ab.html there are some suggestions there for anthologies for a very similar query.
Thanks Amanda for the info. Definitely 500 hats of Bartholomew is one of the stories along with The Three Sillies. I looked at all the suggestions in that archive but no luck. I feel I’m getting closer though. Another story I remember is about an old lady who shrinks every time this person stomps his foot. I think she turns into a bird and flies away.
The First Woodpecker is the tale of the stamping foot/shrinking into a bird.
There’s a fair possibility the anthology is one of these:

Could it be a volume of Childcraft Encyclopedia? The Stories and Fables volume has 500 Hats and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Here is a blog page with an image of the table of contents from the 1970 edition, but I grew up with the 1964 edition and I’m pretty sure the contents were the same:
