A Cloud Kingdom Classic Riddle

From The Riddle Treasury

I'm never orange,

Though yellow can be.

A bard's good friend,

In his songs you find me.

In a child's book kept,

And in ballads too,

I'll bet you're surprised

Not to find me right here.

(answer is one word)

Take my guess exactly as typed

I'm not sure of the spelling
