I sell children's books. I currently have 5 copies of the 1950s Whitman book which contains the poem: Quack said Jerusha. I know that these are old posts but just in case someone is still interested there are books out there. In 12 years of dealing in children's books, I have only seen two softbound copies of the story in a book alone.

Many Thanks

Wow, I remember when AvaJoy first asked this question. I looked
and searched for days to find an answer.

BSC, It would be great if you sent a PM to her so she doesn't miss this
older thread. Thanks.

I have received responses to my post; however, I do not have any copies of the book Children's Stories with the poem Quack said Jerusha. I am trying to purchase a copy. Please help me if you can!

Susan (Avajoy) sent me a copy when this thread originally started. I think I can get my hands on it and mail it to you. Please send me a PM with your name and address and I will gladly copy it and send you what I have, but it might be a week or so before I can do it as I am going out of town for part of the week.

Please understand that the copy I have is a Xerox type copy, not an original.

HI There!!! I am SO excited!!! I have been searching for the book that contains Mildred Merryman's 'Quack', Said Jerusha' also. I have a copy that I received from my grandmother when I was 4. It is packed away and I would very much like to find a second one for my g'babies! We love Jerusha!

One morning when Jerusha woke
she took her perky leg
And gave a sort of 'pokey-poke'
and pushed away her egg.
And as she stepped from out
her shell
And looked around for luck,
"QUACK! said Jerusha,
I seem to be a duck!"

Like the earlier poster on this forum, this too has been one of my favorite poems all of my life. My book is yellowing and a bit fragile, so that is why I am looking for a second one that I can use with my g'babies. If any of you know where I may find one, please let me know.
Thanks so much for any help.

Now I am sorry that I didn't answer the thread earlier because my favorite used books website, www.zvab.com had it several times. Now they don't have it anymore but I suggest you check it out- it coordinates the offers of worldwide antique bookshops - I found already so many books over it and if it's not there, check again in a month or so.

I know this is a really old thread, but I am looking for a copy of the Bedtime Stories book with the "Quack! Said Jerusha" poem in it. If anyone has one they are willing to part with or knows where I can get one it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Susan Billstrom]

I am still looking for this book. Where are you BSC? Please reply! Susan

There is one listed on eBay at the moment:

Not 100% sure if it's the same book, but may be worth $3 plus shipping to find out! (Or maybe send a message to the seller and ask if the poem you are looking for is in the book).

There is also a copy listed here for $45 but the story is listed as "Quack said Joshua"

[Logan]

I sent you a PM, Susan. I can't believe that after all of this time, I can't put my hands on the copy of it that I had. As soon as I locate it, I will make a copy and send it to you. But in the meantime, if you can buy the real thing, I'm sure you'd rather do that.

Hi Logan, Thanks so much for thinking of me. I am still trying to buy the book, but it proves to be difficult. I thought the posting by BSC, who owns a bookstore and says they have copies of the book was great, but I never heard back from them.

Hi Ally Cat's Mommie, Not the same book: Children's Stories, but thanks for trying.

Thank you everyone, Susan
