Rendition To Books Corduroy (Corduroy)
Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store at night? The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator that he thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy, and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. Corduroy decides that this must be home and that Lisa must be his friend. Youngsters will never get tired of this toy-comes-alive tale with a happy ending, so you may also want to seek out Dan Freeman's next creation, A Pocket for Corduroy.

TEARS <3 pd: My heart can't take this.Corduroy, the world's sweetest felon, is the star of two books about breaking and entering. In his debut here, he rambles Mixed-Up Filesianly through a department store at night, breaking shit.dude let's trash this placeIn the sequel, Cor2roy, he hides out in a laundromat after a confusing encounter with a beret-wearing artist who talks like a hillbilly. Once again he leaves the place trashed.something something watch the world burnHe's caught both times - the first time by a cop, the second
Corduroy has an wholesome, old time feel to it. My toddler daughter and I enjoyed reading this together. I liked seeing things happening through Corduroy's eyes. I was rooting for the little guy to find a home and for someone to look past the fact that he wasn't in perfectly new shape. If we owned this one, I could see my daughter requesting it over and over. This was a Children's Picture Book Club read for the month of December:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...
Read at Storytime on June 13thTheme: Classic StoriesThis was the first pick for Storytime to begin our reading. The kids love Corduroy and his adventure to find his missing button. There might have been some sighs of happiness at the end when he finds a home with Lisa.
I finally got around to reading this classic beginners book. It was worth checking out. Its a sweet story about a bear looking for his button and a girl wanting a bear. I read the 40th anniversary edition and what I really love (I didnt read this part to the kid) was in the back they have correspondence between the author and his agents. They had a copy of the manuscript and we get to see edits they made. Its amazing how taking out a few words can smooth out the copy. Editors dont like adverbs.
A classic sweet tale of a little bear that finds a home in a little girl's heart.
