Product Description

In 1968, a girl named Lisa fell in love with a little brown bear wearing green overalls with one button missing, and thousands of readers followed suit, making Corduroy one of the best-loved children’s books of all time. Now, forty years later, Viking proudly celebrates Don Freeman’s classic with a very special anniversary edition. With an extra-large trim size and special features including an embossed cover and four bonus spreads of never-before-seen materials, this handsome volume is a must-have for any Corduroy fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Collector's item/memorabilia for adults, pages upside down, March 13, 2008
By William F. Cook "wfcook" (Stevensville, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this for my son, but I'm going to get another copy that ISN'T the anniversary addition. This version contains eight pages of information about the earlier version of the book, letters between the author and publisher, etc. This sort of stuff is more for those of us who remember the book from our childhoods than it is for the kids themselves.

Curiously, the first four pages of my copy of the book are bound in upside-down. Does anyone else have this in theirs? I might have a real collector's item indeed...

As for the story itself, it's a five-star kid's story. Wonderful. But if you are buying it for your kids, I'd get the other version.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real classic, February 12, 2009
By Sarah (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book for my sister's baby shower, and I was very happy with it. I gave it in replacement of a card, and I am very excited that my niece will get as much joy out of reading/ being read corduroy as I did as a child.
