Older Children's Book

The book is about a lizard named Lily. One of the lines went like this: and as for lily lizard does she know the dangers of traveling on the train? she might meet a stranger

Was this a picture book or a chapter book? How old is "older?" For some LT members that might imply that it dates to the 1950s, for others that it's from 2001.

It is a picture book. By older, I meant 1970's

Found it in Google Books Advanced Search. It's from The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast in a poem called "Punchinello":

(excerpt)
As for Lily Lizard,
Silly Lily Lizard,
Did she know the hazard
Going on her own,
Travelling by train?

Thank you! I thought it was just a book about Lily Lizard.

Gorgeous illustrations. Looks like the picture book was published in 1973, but was based on a poem from 1802 by William Roscoe.
