I just Googled the song title "I Love You a Bushel and a Peck," and learned that it was written by Frank Loesser for the musical "Guys and Dolls."

Many of the first two pages of Googles hits refer to a children's book wherein the song lyrics are accompanied by illustations of a loving family of cute little ducks. Frank Loesser is credited as "author," but I'm sure that the illustator had the idea and put the book package together.
