An AMAZING accomplishment in children's literature!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As owner of a children's bookstore, mother of 5, and LONG time fan of Don Freeman's books, I have often wished he had written more than 2 books about Corduroy! Many favorite characters from children's literature have suffered at the hands of commercial endeavors and adaptations (think Curious George, Winnie the Pooh and even Corduroy), but this book is the exception. The collaborators have made a thoughtful contribution to Don Freeman's legacy in EVERY way. The story line is completely true to the originals -- and the illustrations completely capture the feel of the original books. What a fun project this must have been... and what a great accomplishment!! I own the book and will be buying up more before it goes out of print, which I suspect it will unless more Corduroy fans find out about it quickly.
A Perfect Children's Story

I bought this book for my daughter not long after she received "Corduroy" and "A Pocket for "Corduroy" for Christmas. She loved the first 2 books and is just as pleased with this one. The Corduroy books are frequent bedtime stories in this house!
Long Live Corduroy!

I was a Corduroy fan as a child. It is exciting to see my child reading the same books that I had back 30 years ago. She loves these books. This is an exact reprint of one I had as a child. We highly recommend it as we do all in this series. My 28 month old is obsessed with Corduroy and his friend Lisa. A great gift for a child ages 2-6.
Corduroy discover the moon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is the second book I bought for my daughter as she sees Corduroy on tivo and she asked me for the books. It's a nice story about a night time escape of Cordoroy in order to find a gift for Lisa's birthday. It's perfect before going to sleep as it's short but has a good plot. It's one of the books I read and reread to my daughter as she always asks me. She likes very much the idea of the bear going alone and then the happy end. The illustration are also nice.
