A bear in search of a home—and a button

Corduroy’s world begins in a toy department, where he waits to be chosen. When Lisa takes an interest in him, a missing button stands between the bear and the home he hopes to find. His effort to tidy himself up gives the story a simple through-line about wanting to belong and being welcomed as a friend. The store setting and Corduroy’s small search keep the focus on a child-sized concern: what makes someone feel ready to be chosen.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children, including preschoolers, encountering a picture-book story about a bear and a child.
  • Families seeking a short read-aloud centered on friendship and belonging.

Book overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The treasured childhood classic that tells the heartwarming story of a little bear and a little girl finding the friend they have always wanted in each other.

"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. The timeless quality of Corduroy's story continues to appeal to children today as it has for decades, ensuring his place in everyone's heart for years to come.
