I have been looking for that same book - did you ever find out the name of it?
I found your post by typing in "karen kay was four" in google, hoping to find something about that book I enjoyed forty-some years ago. This forum was the only result that came up - hope you have had some luck!

<font color=violet>I thank you with all my heart for coming up with the name of that wonderful book! Since I knew what to look for after seeing your post, I soon found a copy of it, and it was such a delight to read it again, and see those sweet pictures I still remember after so many years. Bless you for taking the time to reply!</font>

I started looking for the same book when I first got the internet, but never got anywhere with"Karen Kay was four and a little bit more. How old are you?" until yesterday. I started looking for it again yesterday because I had a nostalgic moment. This book was given to me by my sister on my fifth birthday in 1960. That sister died last year and I had one of those moments yesterday and decided to look again for Karen Kay. I was amazed at how many other people were looking for the same book - and mine will be at my door within the next week! Thank you, World Wide Web!

My mother used to read me a book about Karen Kay. She told me that it started out, "Karen Kay remembers a Christmas day when someone came to her house to play with smoky ben the teddy bear and the little girl doll with the yellow hair." Do you know about a book with Karen Kay in it like that? The one that was mentioned above, "Karen Kay was all of four..." sounds familiar to me, but I am not sure. They aren't the same book, are they? Can you help me?
Thank you,
Anne
