Purchased in “very good” condition. What I received was like new.
My favorite childhood story!
Published by SB , 8 months ago
I don't think the review for the vendor should affect the review for the book.
This is my favorite book from childhood and I can't wait to read it to my son. I still have my corduroy teddy bear that somebody made me. This book taught me care and compassion, to take care of the people you love, and to appreciate the little things like Corduroy Bears in our life that bring us so much joy and comfort.
The little girl in this book cares so much for something that appears discarded by others. And in the end, he truly outshines them all. In the end I know this is what taught me as a child and an adult not to treat others poorly and to defend those who are treated poorly. We are all Corduroy the bear.
It's an Ugly Duckling or Charlotte's Web style short story, with morals taught and not superficial tales of grandeur.
Classic Picture Book That Never Ages!
Published by MereyLouise , 9 months ago
If you are looking for a sweet story that children will want to hear over and over again, grab this book! We love it at our house and constantly have to replace our copy as it wears out with all the grandchildren reading it again and again.
Great story in great condition!
Published by Krissy , 1 year ago
I loved this book as a kid and I love reading it to my baby even more. It's such a cute story about a toy bear looking for a button to fix his overalls in the hopes a kid will take him home and love him. It's a very sweet story. I ordered a giant board book in very good condition and it the condition of the book was amazing!
A classic for toddlers
Published by TLOlson , 2 years ago
My toddler loves this book, the pages are full of bright illustrations and the story is short enough to keep her attention while also deep enough to teach her tenderness towards her toys.
We have such a precious time reading this book together.
No Bear with book ): but great quality!
Published by Sarah , 3 years ago
The quality is amazing! I got an excellent book and it’s so cute to read to my 5 month old as she loves the colors! I was just under the impression I would also get the bear that came with the book when I ordered and I didn’t receive it. But other than that, it’s really nice!

My Daughters Favorite Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I remember reading this story as a child and my 3 year old daughter loves it.
Great Winner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I loved this teddy bear who longed for his home and his mother. I like this story of not only receiving but also giving love. Corduroy was lucky enough to find Lisa but not all teddy bears are that lucky... Corduroy is exactly the kind of teddy bear that I love. Other great books that I highly recommend are The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book and especially Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 2.
Everybody loves Corduroy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The little bear named Corduroy may not be as beautiful and perfect as the doll sitting next to him on the toy shelf, but he is more loveable. Corduroy is learning some of the struggles in life, just as we do in our lives. He is desperately searching for his lost botton because he wants a little girl to buy him. But the only thing the girl is searching for is not on the outside, it is on the inside. She loves Corduroy for Corduroy. This teaches children an excellent lesson. Love people for their personality.

Gifts That Are Kid Tested and Parent Approved
Published by Melina Lynne • December 14, 2015
Many memories will be shared over a good book, starting with the time-honored tradition of the bed-time story. Who here remembers begging their parents to read just one more book? "I promise I will go right to bed after the next one;" "I'm not tired yet;" "But I really like both of the books. I don't want to choose." Do any of these sound familiar?
