Narration In Pursuance Of 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.

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.Ive fallen in love with Corduroy. Just like Lisa, the little girl in Don Freemans childrens book, who buys Corduroy from the toy department with her piggy bank savings.Corduroy sadly believes that his missing button is why hes still on the shelf instead of at home with the little girl so he goes on a search to find his button.Lisa reappears and buys Corduroy anyway, loving him whole, despite his missing button. Once at home with Lisa, she sews a new button for Corduroy but says I like you the
I accidentally ran into this book on the goodreads homepage and it brought the tears of joy to my eyes!This was probably my favorite picture book when I was a child! Since it's in English, my mother had to read it to me because I didn't learn English until I was 10. It had the most beautiful pictures ever, and the story was so beautiful.During the recent house cleaning I re-discovered this book again, and I read it on my own, probably for the first time in my whole life! I have put it safe and
I love this cute little book about a bear in green corduroy overalls. It is definitely on my list of books to get for my own child (if I have one). I'd also want to get a Corduroy bear, too.
Why five stars? Because I can, and if you don't like it, I'll see to it that you have a nipple ripped off, and that there's no little girl around to sew it back on you! This book was awesome when I was a kid, and it still is. However, the escalator scared me because I always thought it was going to eat Corduroy. See, even as a child I was fucked up in the head; a great big ball of fear, ha ha. The security guard was a little scary too. Plus, he's a little bear all alone in the mall after closing
