I have the answer! Yes I do! It was published first as a wonder book and was titled "The Magic Word". Later changed to "Do You Know the Magic Word". I just love this site and will have to come back daily. My addiction is growing for LGB!!! 
Thank you! Thank you! (I think that was the other magic word!)

Did you find a copy of the book? I have one, if you are interested. Chris

I am looking for a book I remember as a child, but I can't remember the name, although I think it was something like "The Magic Word". It was about a child whose mother had just mixed up a cake batter and the child wanted to lick the bowl. The Mom says, sure, after you say the magic word. The child keeps guessing at magic words until he/she finally says "Please, Mom, can't I lick the bowl?" Mom says that "Please" was the magic word! Anyone know where I can find this. Not sure it was an LGB. Thanks.
