Book Reviews of Corduroy
Book Review: A favorite in our house!
Summary: 4 Stars
Our 7 month old son absolutely loves this book! I was a little disappointed when I first received the book, since I had read online that the Corduroy story taught a positive message to kids, teaching them not to judge someone based on their appearance alone. However this story is basically just a simple collage of things Corduroy did today (ending with bedtime). I was really surprised when after a few reads my son has chosen this story as one of his favorites. He gets excited when he sees the cover and loves touching and looking at the pictures. I'll definitely buy some of the other Corduroy books, which have more developed story lines appropriate for older children, in a few years.
Summary of Corduroy
Don Freeman's classic character, Corduroy, is even more popular today then he was when he first came on the scene over thirty years ago. These favorite titles are ready for another generation of children to love.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. (Ages 3 to 8)
