A photocopy of p. 488 from a publication is headed: "The First Issue
of the Jewish Children's Calendar." I need full citation for source of
same.

Dear deruyter,

Could you provide a bit of background detail? As my research has
revealed, 'Kinderkalender', or 'Children's Calendar', was a very
common form of entertaining almanachs for children in Germany from the
late 19th to the mid-20th century. Also, it seems that there was no
publication with the explicit name 'Jüdischer Kinderkalender', and it
is not very realistic that a children's book had 488  pages - all
Kinderkalender I found had 100-150 pages. I can't imagine any child
would feel attracted by such a thick book.
Is it possible that 'Jewish Children's Calendar' is a very free
translation of the original title, and that the page number is not
488? And can you identify bits of the content of the reproduced page?

Regards,
Scriptor

Hi deruyter-ga,

Searching for "Jewish Children's Calendar" on Google produces no
useful results.  But searching for the same phrase on AllTheWeb (
http://alltheweb.com/ ) yields a page that contains the information
you're looking for:

"Veröffentlichungen in Handbüchern, Sammelbänden und Fachzeitschriften
(seit 1990): Annegret Völpel"
Fachbereich Neuere Philologien
Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main
http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/fb10/jubufo/publikationen/artikel.html#voelpel

The fifth entry under Annegret Völpel states: 

"1928: The first issue of the "Jewish Children’s Calendar", edited by
Emil Bernhard Cohn, is published in cooperation with the Commission on
Literary Works for Youth of the Grand Lodge for Germany of the
Independent Order of B’nai B’rith. In: Yale Companion to Jewish
Writing and Thought in German Culture, 1096 - 1996 (hg. Sander L.
Gilman, Jack Zipes). New Haven, London: yale University Press 1997,
485-491"

So this is the reference you want, in MLA citation style -- Gilman,
Sander L. and Jack Zipes, eds. Yale Companion to Jewish Writing and
Thought in German Culture, 1096-1996. New Haven and London: Yale
University Press, 1997.

Here is a link to Yale University Press's page on this work:

Also, you might want to know that Annegret Völpel is actually the
author of the particular piece that you're looking for, and that the
article has the very long title indicated on the Johann Wolfgang
Goethe-Universität web page.

You can confirm this by looking at the table of contents for the
Gilman and Zipes book:
