We really enjoyed this book and reading it to our daughter - who is nearly three. It not only captivates her imagination but is full of wonderful old fashioned values - particularly of being "liked for the person who you are". I would highly recommend it.
Although I read all kinds of books as a kid, I never got to read Corduroy before last week when a friend of mine gave it to me. I wish I had known about it when I was teaching elementary school. I had some kids in my class that kinda fit that "I'm imperfect, somebody please love me" mode. This would have been perfect for them. It would have shown them that such love was possible. I found it touching. I'm going to make it a permanent baby gift.
My children's favorite little bear along with a new character- a caterpillar by the name of Cyrano in Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successhave left these two books shreded from use.Children will laugh at the adventures of these characters over and over again.
I actually have not read this book for years and was delighted when I found it again. For something so simple, it certainly packs a respectable adventure and plenty of heart. Corduroy is an adorable bear, and his department store is very nostolgic.
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. SIMILAR ITEMS: |
