Corduroy

Sarah Sammis

It's perhaps ironic that I'm writing this review on a night when I have given away two bags of my childhood stuffed animals. I was quite the collector when I was younger, all the way up through college. Living in a small home with three other people and two cats with inadequate storage space has curbed my urge to collect.

Corduroy by Don Freeman is the first in a long series of picture books about little teddy bear. In this one he's living in an apartment store, forgotten on a shelf long enough he's lost one of his buttons.

To make himself presentable for the little girl who wants to buy him, Corduroy goes on a night time quest through the department store to find a replacement button. In the end, though, Corduroy's little girl returns and doesn't care that he's missing a button. The little bear learns the important lesson of unconditional love.

My very first English children book...
I still read it occasionally, and be amazed by that teddy bear..<3

Corduroy was first introduced to readers in 1968, and in the fifty years since, his adventures have never stopped. Corduroy has been on the department store shelf for a long time. Yet as soon as Lisa sees him, she knows that he’s the bear for her. Her mother, though, thinks he’s a little shopworn—he’s even missing a button! Still, Corduroy knows that with a bit of work he can tidy himself up and be just the bear for Lisa. And where better to start than with a nighttime adventure through the department store, searching for a new button! Celebrate 50 years of this irresistible childhood classic, a heartwarming story about a little bear and a little girl finding the friend they have always wanted in each other.
