highly recommended

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.

I felt sad for Corduroy

A simple story of a teddy bears adventure of finding its missing button and ends up finding a home, it almost feels like a book for parents who are ready to adopt.

I remember watching a movie about orphans (I can't recall which one, NO....it's not Oliver), they were trying to look their best and behave their best when ever a potential parents-to-be comes by. And I sense some parallel with this story and sympathies with Corduroy.

A girl fines Corduroy in the shopping mall and wants to take him home. A mom point out the he's dusty and also is missing a button. Corduroy thinking this a problem goes in search for his missing button. In the end, he finds a home not because of his appearance but because there was someone out there who would loves him for what he is.

It's a book that makes you appreciate what you have, a good lesson to teach the kids.

A must have.

One of my favorite books to share with my son. Even though he has out grown it, I cannot part with this book.

a favorite from my childhood that I'm passing to my child

Sweet story with a wonderful message. As a mom by adoption, this tale has a subtle subtext that works for our family. Also nice to have characters that aren't white without hitting you over the head with "diversity".

Classic

This is a good book about the adventures Corduroy goes on in order to find a button. He *doesn't* find a button, but that's all right - a little (African-American, if that's relevant) girl takes him home anyway. "I like you just the way you are!"

I do find that Corduroy's dialog is a little sappy, and it's somewhat weird to me that he can actually talk to Lisa, but it's still a good book.

disappointed

I bought this book after reading reviews, and was pretty disappointed. Sure, the message is good, but the story is kind of boring. My 20 month old was unimpressed.
