I am looking for a children’s book I memorized at age 3 in 1945. I believe the title is: The Land of the Dutch, Dutch, Dutch. I do not know the author or illustrator. It is a child’s introduction to Holland. As a child, I recited the book to any guests in our home. As a teenager, I was an exchange student in Holland.

New format, same book stumper solving.
There is a poem/song “The Little Toy Land of the Dutch’ in a 1932 edition of ‘The Golden Flute an anthology of poetry for young children” by Alice Hubbard
Away, ‘way off, cross the seas and such
Lies the little flat land of the Dutch, Dutch, Dutch
Where the green toy meadows stretch off to the sea
With a little canal where the fence ought to be
The link with a child’s book introducing Holland remains elusive, however the full poem can be read online at the Hathitrust.org site. It is found in the book “In the nursery of my bookhouse” edited by Olive Beaupré Miller, and the full text is freely available to view.
