  1. jomarthegreat says:

    aaaah, Corduroy! I think this was the first book that I ever read by myself. I’d read it over and over!

  2. Novawolf says:

    CORDUROY! T.T Wow! Something actually from MY childhood! Oh the memories~! ^^X

  3. Alexis says:

    Oh, I loved this book when I was a kid! Now I read it to my little boys :)

  4. ladykitteh says:

    I have no idea what this is… :( Less ‘USA only’ entries please!

    • DocFan says:

      I’m Canadian, and I grew up with Corduroy…it’s an adorable story about a little bear in a department store who has lost a button from his overalls. I can’t remember all the details, but I know they eventually made it into an annoying cartoon show. Who knows? It may not be as well-known where you are, but maybe your library would have the book?

    • Nemz says:

      I’m swedish, and I grew up with this book.

      Lovely story.

    • Anonymous says:

  5. Jman says:

    why i love corduroy? cause he’s kick ass thats why!!!

  6. Hannah says:

    I never liked Corduroy. I thought that little bear was boring as sin.

    • ladykitteh says:

      Hmm, sounds to me like you need some introductions to exciting sins :P Sin is not supposed to be boring, that’s where the fun comes from!

  7. Multi-Facets says:

    This was one of the books I used to teach myself to read. I loved it when Corduroy found a home. ^n_n^

  8. splendid says:

    Corduroy is totally ballin. I remember when I was little I used to really want that little girls room, especially her quilt.

  9. Kelly says:

    My favorite book as a kid. We even made “Corduroys” in kindergarten.

  10. jularh says:

    My grandma had a Corduroy book, and she would read it to me when I visited once a year. Ah, the memories :)

  11. kitty says:

    i remember my 3rd grade teacher reading this to us in class, it was the only book i wanted to read, and sometimes i would read it all day

  12. Sam says:

    • Alyssa says:

      The Little Train that Could? 8D

    • jularh says:

      Was it “Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel”? I loved that one as well.

      • charlie says:

        I LOVED MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS STEAM SHOVEL!!!! but i cried when they showed all the broken steam shovels in the dump. then i always wondered how they did a perfect square for the basement… i guess its magic…

  13. Alyssa says:

  14. Lucien says:

  17. Florsie says:

    My mom brought me this book once she went on a business trip to New York. She used to get me tons of books in english, which explains why I read faster in english now. I just loved the book but at the same time I thought it was so sad. Poor Corduroy was all alone, nobody bought him. I remember my eyes were watery when I finished reading it.

  18. pdsinger says:

    I loved reading this to my kids, all about how you didn’t have to be “perfect” to find love. It was a good antidote to “The Good Earth” on that score.

  19. emmawatson says:

    Ooh! I love, love, love, love, Corduroy

  20. emmawatson says:

    Corduro was my favorite book growing up! If i couldn’t read it i studied the pictures!

  21. nat123 says:

    I remember when I was three I first was read this book! I still have it its one of my favorite picture books!

  22. Trevor says:

    i dont know why but this book scared me when i was little.

  23. tomanycookiesforcorduroy says:

  24. Love it! says:

    I loved Corduroy! Way better than that stuck up Paddington Bear!
