Corduroy
Hardcover – March 11, 1968
Corduroy, a lonely bear in green overalls, must first find his lost button before he can be Lisa's very own bear
"The classic bear stands the test of time with an anniversary edition. Corduroy is still as warm and sweet a story as when it was first written 50 years ago." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
Corduroy was first introduced to readers in 1968, and in the fifty years since, his adventures have never stopped.
Corduroy has been on the department store shelf for a long time. Yet as soon as Lisa sees him, she knows that he’s the bear for her. Her mother, though, thinks he’s a little shopworn—he’s even missing a button! Still, Corduroy knows that with a bit of work he can tidy himself up and be just the bear for Lisa. And where better to start than with a nighttime adventure through the department store, searching for a new button!
Celebrate 50 years of this irresistible childhood classic, a heartwarming story about a little bear and a little girl finding the friend they have always wanted in each other.
