    About Corduroy 40th Anniversary Edition

    A picture book classic!
     
    One of School Library Journal’s “Top 100 Picture Books” of all time (2012) 
    One of the National Education Association’s ”Teachers’ Top 100 Books for Children.”

    Don Freeman’s classic character, Corduroy, is even more popular today then he was when he first came on the scene in 1968. This story of a small teddy bear waiting on a department store shelf for a child’s friendship has appealed to young readers generation after generation.

    About Corduroy 40th Anniversary Edition

    In 1968, a girl named Lisa fell in love with a little brown bear wearing green overalls with one button missing, and thousands of readers followed suit, making Corduroy one of the best-loved children’s books of all time. Now, forty years later, Viking proudly celebrates Don Freeman’s classic with a very special anniversary edition. With an extra-large trim size and special features including an embossed cover and four bonus spreads of never-before-seen materials, this handsome volume is a must-have for any Corduroy fan.

    About Corduroy 40th Anniversary Edition

    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.
