Teddy bear Corduroy decides he needs a pocket one day when he visits the Laundromat. I really liked the story, although it is a shame that the drawings miss color. Too much yellow/purple and black. This could have been so much better, but still 4 points.This book is in the 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up challenge I am doing.

This is basically a nightmare scenario.

I liked the diversity in this book. It wasn't in your face, it just was. The human characters were likable and the reader could relate to their feelings and actions. The colors, patterns and textures depicted in the drawings encourage the reader to stop and examine them. This adds to the story. I wasn't as drawn to the character of Corduroy. If not for the supporting characters and the well done drawings I would have given this a 3 rating. I found the supporting characters more likable and insp

Such a heartwarming classic

In this follow-up to his classic picture-book Corduroy , which saw a lonely stuffed bear exploring a department store at night, looking for a button, Don Freeman once again sends his adorable ursine hero on an unexpected quest: this time for a pocket. When Lisa, the little girl who took him home in the first book, brings him with her to the laundromat, Corduroy overhears a conversation that convinces him he needs a pocket. Never loathe to go exploring, he sets out to find one, becoming separa...

This was my favorite book when I was a child. Our library had two copies and I would return one and run to the shelves to get the other. The library started hiding a copy for me so there would always be one available to me, otherwise there were tears. Now I own two copies. And a bear.

I don't know how many times I have read this book but it is probably the best book I have ever received (along with Are You My Mother). In fact, this is the first book I ever read. I remember the day my kindergarten teacher handed everyone a copy of the book, a pair of scissors and a glue stick. In retrospect, they probably shouldn't have given children a book and scissors at the same time, but no matter. I asked my mother to read it to me every night until I had mesmerized the story (which I di...

I always wondered why the little stuffed Corduroy bears have those purple pockets, and now I know! In this book, Lisa and her mother take Corduroy to the laundromat where the curious bear wanders off and gets lost. When Lisa finds him, he tells her he wants a pocket, and she promptly obliges by sewing on a purple one.

As cute as ever. My daughter said the little girl’s mom looked like “a pop star.” I told her everyone looked like that in the 70s.

A Pocket for Corduroy (Corduroy), Don FreemanA timeless classic from Don Freeman's story of a beloved teddy bear and his friend Lisa. In this sequel to Corduroy, Lisa takes her toy bear to a Laundromat, where he goes on a soapy adventure! When doing their laundry, Corduroy hears Lisa'a mother asking her to check her pockets before they put her clothes in the wash. ... After a series of adventures, Corduroy, while looking for materials to make a pocket, gets stuck in a basket of clothes until he

Lovable Corduroy Bear realizes his overalls don't have a pocket. On a mission to find something that would make a suitable pocket, he gets left in a laudromat over night. Nice sequel to the first.

I found the original Corduroy a revelation and the sequel even more so. In the first - written in the '60s -- an elegant black woman and her daughter shop in a Manhattan department store. The sequel was written about ten years later, and now Lisa's mother -- still elegant -- has traded out her A-line dress for bell bottoms and the launder mat where mother and daughter go to wash clothes is populated by bearded artists in berets. Although stuffed bears don't change, the world has. These books mov...

I wish my only dilemma in life was wanting a pocket.

A timeless classic from Don Freeman, one of my favorite children's authors.The plot is the simple story of a little girl going to the laundromat with her mother. She brings her bear, Corduroy, who bored, decides to explore. He ends up getting left behind and spends the night at the laundromat. Small children have such a strong sense of wonder that a stuffed bear getting stuck in a laundromat over night is high adventure. I know because I remember loving this book when I was very young.

One day while at the laundromat, teddy bear Corduroy decides he needs a pocket. His search for one introduces him to some strange new things. Can he find a pocket? Will Lisa be able to find him?Even as a kid, I liked this book more than Corduroy’s first adventure. I think it’s because of the creativity. We know what Corduroy finds along his way, but his explanations for them are creative, logical, and fun. The illustrations capture the book perfectly, and will please kids and parents alike. This...

To check out my review: http://dancinginth3dark.blogspot.com I wish this book was never written. The entire time as I was reading this book I kept having this thought that Corduroy is going to turn into Chucky and kill the little girl. This bear creeps me out and this is meant for children. I believe the author could have written Corduroy as a standalone and you wouldn't hear any complaints for a sequel.We meet Corduroy again and he speaks like it is no big deal that a stuffed teddy be...

LOVE THIS AND SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE

I read this book to my child as it was listed on a homeschool study unit I have been following. Corduroy lives in the big city with his person, Lisa. Lisa tells Corduroy to stay put in a chair but he doesn't listen. He gets the idea that he needs a pocket and decides to look around the laundromat for one. What he finds is a bag of wet clothes and he is almost put into a dryer. After spending the night alone in the laundromat, Corduroy is reunited with Lisa the next morning. My child didn't reall...

I enjoyed this books story line and plot, however I wasn't big on the graphics. I thought it had a problem and a resolution which can teach kids that theres always a way to solve their problems. I can see myself reading this book to my future class because it has a lesson to go along with it, and who doesn't love Corduroy.
