Fondly Remembered

I'd like to track down Finders Weepers by Miriam Chaikin, which I read at age 9 or 10. The only cover image I can find on the world wide web isn't quite satisfactory. The illustration by Richard Egielski is fine, but only part of it was used on this reprint cover.
Finders Weepers is a sequel to I Should Worry, I Should Care, but I never read the first. Maybe my copy came from a box of books ordered through a Troll flyer at school. It was a surprise assortment, where you knew only how many items there would be, but not the titles. It must have been a way for them to get rid of overstock. The element of surprise was genius. I was very happy with my assortment.
