Picture Books Corduroy 40th Anniversary Edition

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The treasured childhood classic about a little bear and a lost button—now in a fortieth-anniversary edition featuring bonus archival materials!

“Freeman’s tender tale bursts with quiet yearning, indelible images and the pure satisfaction of finding your person.”—The New York Times

Corduroy lives in the toy department of a big store. Day after day he waits with all the other animals and dolls for somebody to come along and take him home. 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. Recognizable by his namesake green corduroy overalls, Corduroy and his misadventures in the search for his button have entertained and endeared generations of readers.

This special 40th anniversary edition comes with four bonus spreads of never-before-seen materials, making it a must-have for any Corduroy fan.
