Come along for Corduroy's Party! Enjoy an afternoon of fun with your child at Corduroy's Party! This Activity Packet includes two books, a bear, and a Corduroy It's a party activity sheet! ( )

This lovely book is one of the original Corduroy books that I have recently shared with my 6 year old daughter. This tale features the curious bear wandering out of the apartment in search of the perfect gift for Lisa, his human. Seeing the moon and thinking it is a balloon, he chases it and ends up in all kinds of trouble. Luckily, a friendly newsstand owner puts Corduroy up for Lisa to find him. It is a sweet tale of friendship, life in the city, and what is actually important in life. ( )

One afternoon, Lisa and her mother are riding the bus home after a shopping trip. Corduroy sits on Lisa’s lap, looking out the window and listening to Lisa talk to her mother about her birthday.

Corduroy is worried. Lisa is having a birthday and he doesn’t have a gift for her. Early the next morning, he sneaks out of bed and quietly leaves the apartment. He’s off to find a birthday present for Lisa. But what will happen when Lisa wakes up and Corduroy isn’t there?

And then Corduroy discovers that he’s lost . . . .

This irresistible narrative, a new outing for the cuddly little bear, retains the feeling of Don Freeman’s original Corduroy stories. Young readers will enjoy sharing Corduroy’s new adventure with their families.

This book is about Corduroy the bear he slips out very early one morning to get a birthday present for Lisa. He spies what he thinks is a yellow balloon up in the sky, thinking that would be perfect for her. But when the sun rises, the balloon ,really the full moon, disappears. And now Corduroy is lost. Lisa finds him, but not before Corduroy succeeds in getting just the right gift, a lollipop as yellow and round as the moon. ( )

Corduroy is a stuffed bear who just found out his best friend / owner Lisa is having a birthday soon and he has not gotten her a gift yet. He sneaks out very early one morning, taking a ride on an elevator and eventually seeing the perfect gift for Lisa, a great big balloon (actually the moon). But after trying to catch the balloon, which continues to move away from him, he is picked up by a dog, dropped on a pile of newspapers and eventually found by a newspaper man. Corduroy realizes he's lost and the newspaper man holds onto him in hopes that his owner will come looking for the lost bear.

Cute story about love and thoughtfulness for others. Good story for children to discuss compassion and respect for other peoples belongings. The newspaper man did not try to sell Corduroy, but thought someone might come looking for him. A story that could be read during the holidays or around birthdays to encourage children to think of ways to express their love for someone special. ( )
