Book Description

Release date: May 17, 2007 | Age Range: 2 and up | Series: Corduroy (Board Book)

Today is the Fourth of July, and Corduroy and his friends are having a fun- filled picnic. They eat tasty treats and play games in the hot summer sun. Then it’s time to cool down with a dip in the pool. Next they take part in an Independence Day parade! Scruffy Pup bangs the drum, Checkerboard Bunny plays the flute, and Corduroy carries the American flag. Once it’s dark outside, the friends gather to watch an amazing fireworks display.

This sturdy, brightly colored shaped board book is perfect for the youngest fans of Corduroy, one of the best-loved characters in children’s books for nearly 40 years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another fun entry in the Corduroy holiday series March 6, 2009

Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase

These are great first books for babies/toddlers. The illustrations are not too busy and have nice colors to keep the little ones' interest. The board book format is sturdy enough to hold up to my toddler's handling and still look good. The print is wonderful for pointing out the words as you read to your child (and clear enough for beginning solo readers as well).

I've been pleased with all the books in this series, and my son loves them as well (the Corduroy books are his favorite to bring to me to read to him).
