The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator that he thinks <I>must</I> be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy, and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. Corduroy decides that this <I>must</I> be home and that Lisa must be his friend. Youngsters will never get tired of this toy-comes-alive tale with a happy ending, so you may also want to seek out Dan Freeman's next creation, <i>A Pocket for Corduroy</I>. <I>(Ages 3 to 8)</I> 261903 11 3 1968 Corduroy total:5035|5:2238|4:1594|3:999|2:180|1:24| 5035 20947 5603 254 4 3 false false Sat Nov 08 18:38:13 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 08 18:40:04 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 10:37:34 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 10:37:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 06:14:36 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 06:34:20 -0700 2009
