About This Book
Don Freeman's timeless classic, Corduroy, tells the heartwarming story of a teddy bear in a department store who dreams of being bought. When a kind little girl, Lisa, wants to take him home but her mother notices his missing button, Corduroy embarks on a charming, slightly adventurous journey through the store after closing hours to find a replacement. This gentle narrative explores themes of belonging, friendship, and the idea that love accepts us just as we are, imperfections and all. It's perfect for preschoolers and early elementary children, offering a comforting read-aloud experience and sparking conversations about empathy and acceptance.
A toy bear in a department store wants a number of things, but when a little girl finally buys him, he finds what he has always wanted most of all.
