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.
I personally love this story - it's one of my favorites, and I adore the revitalization of Corduroy that has happened in the last several years. I used this story for my toddler story time (18mos to 3 years), and I probably won't use it for that age group again. I think my 3-5 kiddos will be more engaged by the story.
