Customer Reviews

Not what I ordered. Not spanish

Ordered the Spanish version so we could expand our Spanish bookshelf for our baby in our bilingual household and got the English version instead. Not what I ordered.

A classic that captures new and old fans

We love Corduroy and Lisa and we read it often

Did not purchase a Spanish version but got one anyways

Sent me a Spanish version even though I purchased the English version

Not what I ordered

I received this book, it was not in "very good' condition as advertised and it was also in Spanish.

great book but am sad about the quality that I received!!!

I love this book but unfortunately the version of the book I chose (Quality: good) came with a page cut out. I think that qualifies as “acceptable” but I don’t think it merits a bad review. Just thought I’d say the quality wasn’t what I expected; even for secondhand, a page cut out doesn’t seem “good” to me.

My Daughters Favorite Book

I remember reading this story as a child and my 3 year old daughter loves it.

Great Winner

I loved this teddy bear who longed for his home and his mother. I like this story of not only receiving but also giving love. Corduroy was lucky enough to find Lisa but not all teddy bears are that lucky... Corduroy is exactly the kind of teddy bear that I love. Other great books that I highly recommend are The Very Hungry Caterpillar board book and especially Why Some Cats are Rascals, Book 2.

Everybody loves Corduroy

The little bear named Corduroy may not be as beautiful and perfect as the doll sitting next to him on the toy shelf, but he is more loveable. Corduroy is learning some of the struggles in life, just as we do in our lives. He is desperately searching for his lost botton because he wants a little girl to buy him. But the only thing the girl is searching for is not on the outside, it is on the inside. She loves Corduroy for Corduroy. This teaches children an excellent lesson. Love people for their personality.
