Do you think it was one of the books by Nan Gilbert (aka Mildred Gilbertson)? I found a site that lists used copies for sale (they are out of print) - http://www.loganberrybooks.com/most-gilbert.html

Spoiler:
"LOGANBERRY LEGACY
Now here's a classic that certain baby boomers remember clearly and fondly: 365 Bedtime Stories. One story per night about What-a-Jolly Street for a year! There are other books with similar titles, but this is one most remember (see the Anthology Finder for different versions of this title). I do get it from time to time, so let me know if you want one!

BIBLIOGRAPHY
365 Bedtime Stories. Illustrated by Jill Elgin. Whitman, 1955.
365 Bedtime Stories. updated by Eileen Daly. Illustrated by Jill Elgin, cover art by Carolyn Bracken. Merrigold Press, 1955, 1981. Paperback. "
