Title to Forgotten book?

Back in the early 80′s (80-83) I read a beautifully illustrated book on faries, that was also a treasure hunting guide of sorts. The most I can recall is the book contained12 riddles that were to match the 12 pictures within the book. If one was able to puzzle out what picture went with what ridlde you could figure out where the treasures were hidden and claim them for your own. I can only recall one of the pictures as being a lion. If anyone can help me recall the title to this book I’d very much appreciate it.
Thank you in advance~

“A Treasure’s Trove: A Fairy Tale About Real Treasure for Parents and Children of All Ages” by Michael Stadther

http://www.amazon.com/Treasures-Trove-Treasure-Parents-Children/dp/B000IFS0P4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207106091&sr=1-1

“Treasure Trove is a fairy tale about real treasure for parents and children of all ages. The book is fully illustrated. This Fairy Tale takes place in a Great Forest and tells a sweet (and sometimes sad) story about friendship and greed, Good Fairies and Evil Fairies and how love is greater than fear. Also, concealed in the pages of this story, are the clues to twelve very real and very valuable treasures that are hidden around the continental United States for you to find and keep …treasures similar to the jeweled Forest Creatures in the Fairy Tale. The treasures are not hidden in remote locations but rather in places accessible to everyone. You might even find one by accident, as you walk across a field or down a street. But none are on private property, and none are buried. Nothing needs to be lifted or moved for you to find them. But they are hidden well. The simple clues do not need any special knowledge to find or decipher. Anyone who can read can discover the exact location of each treasure –just the way one of the characters does in the story. This book is more than a treasure hunt. Enjoy reading it and take time to read it to a child. It will remind you and the child that we have to take care of each other, and take care of the earth. Oh yes –and not to be afraid of the dark. So, as you read and look carefully at the illustrations, if you believe in Fairies, you may find the clues that will lead you to the treasure”
