"1.) Corduroy by Don Freeman Freeman, D. (1970) Corduroy. New York, NY: Penguin Putnam Books. Illustrated by Don Freeman Summary: This story is about a teddy bear that comes to life and searches for his lost button. Children will love this classic story because it is imaginative and children can relate to a teddy bear coming alive in their imagination. I would use this book in the classroom to teach about loosing things that are important to you."
"This is the GREATEST children's book ever. it shows how a bear being unloved because of a flaw (a missing button) eventually find someone who cares for him. a young girl who sews his button back on. its a story of companionship and a longing to be wanted. It is a great story for any child."
"This is a sweet book. It appealed to me because it touches on the feelings of love and appreciation in spite of what the outward appearance is. It also addresses helping another. From loneliness to companionship, Corduroy finds his way home. Not all of us are so lucky."
"I have read this book many times over the years. It is one of my favorite books to share with young children. As a reader you feel the way Corduroy feels when hes lonely, sad, and loved. There are many emotions the book takes you through and the journey is wonderful. I recommend this book to young children, however I have read it as an adult and I still appreciate it!"
