Summary: Very Cute
Review: This story is a great one to read to a little girl because it talks about her wanting a teddy bear and we all know that little girls love teddy bears. I think the pictures in this story are great because they are very detailed and very realistic. As a little girl I loved this book alot because I thought the bead was adorable. I think any young girl anywhere from ages 4 to 10 would love it. I would highly reccomend it to them because I know they would enjoy the wonderful story and exzilirating pictures!

Summary: This is such a touching story
Review: This story shows that it doesn't matter what you look like or what other people think of you, someone will always love you for who you are. After reading that book I always wanted a bear just like Corduroy with the missing button and all. I thought how it was so cute that the little girl came back with all her piggy bank money and bought the tiny bear that didn't even look new. Most kids will see things in the store and beg for it then forget about it once they are told no. There must of been something about Corduroy that you will have to read to find out.

Summary: Coolest Teddy Around!!!
Review: This story was very endearing. I started reading this book to my son at only 3 months and at 11 months he still loves it! This teddy experiences some really rough moments trying to find his button in a very large department store. Finally he is purchased by a young girl who falls in love with him from the moment she lays eyes on him - imperfections and all. The book is about adventure, love, friendship, responsibility, all sorts of good stuff. It is a fun read, not too long - just right.

Summary: Sweet, sweet story.
Review: This sweet bear has been around for several generations. Living in a department store, Corduroy wanders off for the night. Up the escalator onto the floor with the beds and the lamps. Aha, he needs a new button to replace the lost button on his corduroy overalls. He pulls and pulls a button from a mattress, creating quite a racket in the process. The night watchman comes to investigate and finds the bear hiding under a blanket. The nightwatchman carries Corduroy down the escalator and places him back on the shelf. You see, the little girl's mother told Lisa that she did not want Corduroy because he had was missing a button. The following day Lisa returns with her saved piggy bank money, buys the bear and takes him home to his very own bedroom. This book is incredibly sweet and is appropriate for 2 years old and older. What's more, FAO Schwartz actually sells a Corduroy bear. What a treat. A wonderful gift for a birthday or holiday. Highly, highly recommended.

Summary: A Classic; Every Child Should Have a Copy
Review: This was one of my favorite books as a child. When I was in college I bought a new copy and every time I re-read it it makes me cry. Poor, confused Courderoy looking for his button and kindhearted Lisa who wants the damaged bear despite her mother's admonition to get something nicer. A wonderful story which teaches a lesson to children about people and things that may look imperfect on the outside but who are worthy of love like anyone else. I can't wait to read it to my child (hopefully I won't break down in the middle of it).

Summary: Five paws. . .uh, stars, for this one. . .
Review: Those elegant downtown department stores that close at 6pm are getting fewer and far between, but this book takes you back to a time when a visit to one could fulfill a child's most fervent wish or dream. Corduroy is sitting on the shelf in the toy department when Lisa spots him and, of course, wants her mom to buy him. Her mother says no, because he's missing a button from his suspenders. Well, Corduroy goes looking for the missing button that night, thinking that's why he hasn't been picked to go home with someone yet. This story is almost a primitive variation on "Toy Story," where the toys come to a life of their own when humans aren't around. . .and of course, like Woody, Buzz, and even the Misfit Toys from "Rudolph," Corduroy knows that his purpose in life is to love and be loved by a child. If your child watches the "Corduroy" shorts on PBS, get this book and let him or her see how he first found a home. I hate to say it, but I nearly always cry when I get to the last two pages. I just love happy endings:)
