I read the book
‘Corduroy’ which was written and illustrated by Don Freeman.
It’s a wonderful
story about a toy bear called Corduroy who lives at the department store but wants
to be taken home.
When the little
bear finds that he has lost a button he goes on an adventure to find it, unfortunately
he is found and returned to the toy department.
All ends well
when a little girl buys the little bear and brings him home where they become forever
friends.
In my view this
is a beautiful story that reflects imperfection and a longing to be wanted that’s
shown in a positive way.
Many children
long to be wanted and loved by their families, the latest games, toys and
merchandise does not make up for the quality time that you could be spending
playing with your child, once that time has gone there is no turning back the
clock.
This book is definitely
worth reading, young children will love it.
My final thoughts
on this book are that I found the ending emotional, a lonely bear and a lonely
child finally find each other. It’s beautiful.
Read it now and
tell me what you think?
