About the Author

Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students' League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.

Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater.

He was introduced to the world of children’s literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!"

Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy.

Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low.

Format: Board bookVerified Purchase

This is a classic book so of course I had to buy it for my 16 month old son who loves board books. I absolutely love reading this book to him and he loves going through it himself and looking at the drawings. Its a very sweet cute story that makes you smile at the end and I love that. The book that we received was in perfect condition with no print errors. Every child should have this book in their collection.

This was my husbands favorite book growing up and i was excited to order it for him to read to our little one! When it came, it is even cuter than the pictures made it look. The Bear is a little bigger than i expected and i love it! This book will be a part of so many memories being made and i love that the cost for the book and bear was as much as i had found just the book in stores! Great find!

Every child should be read this book

January 3, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a book that all children will love. Ages 2-4. Read it to my daughter years ago. She borrowed it from the library because we could not find our old copy. Grandchild did not want to take back. Today during a melt down, she wanted it again. After quietly talking through the story & calming down, I downloaded it to my Kindle Fire. She enjoyed turning the pages & knew the story. Mayday on screen talked me through magnifying the pages & text which is different from adult books. I recommend both formats - tablet & hard copy. Also as retired librarian this book will be on every best-loved list.

I'm going to have to buy another copy for my second child to enjoy after her sister has loved this copy to death

November 14, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My two-year-old is obsessed with this book, to the point where I have it memorized and the book is all bent up. It's a simple story of a bear trying to find his lost button in the department store, before being adopted by a little girl who says she "like(s) you just the way you are." Any kid who has a bear of their own will understand the bond the bear and the girl form, and it's a very heartwarming ending. The pictures are gorgeous, and capture kids' attention well. I just wish it came in hardback, because at this rate, I'm going to have to buy another copy for my second child to enjoy after her sister has loved this copy to death.

Love this book! It was my favorite childhood book and recently bought for cousin's child. It a sweet story that talks about a stuffed, alive bear that no one wants and then he finds a home willing to accept his imperfection.

I love this book and am giving it as s baby ...

May 21, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Well, I got a quick response and now have a perfect little Corduroy book. Thank you!!
So I am changing this to a 5 star review.
Corduroy is a children’s book that is near and dear to our hearts. I read it to my daughter, her two daughters, and soon, to my great grandchild. It’s a wonderful, timeless story!
I am hoping for a quick replacement and so I’m writing this review in hopes of reaching the sender. I love this book and am giving it as s baby shower gift, but it arrived with the spine bent pretty badly. I will update the review when I get the replacement. Thanks!!

I loved this book as a kid and now I get to share it with my son. My son fell in love with this book so much that I ended up buying him his own corduroy bear and he takes it EVERYWHERE we go. I even went ahead and bought the other corduroy books for him because he loves it so much! I’m happy that I get to share such a fun book from my childhood with my son.

Cute story very tiny bear

June 8, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I loves this story from when I was a kid so I bought for my son - he is only 5 months and thought the bear would be a good learning activity with the book - the bear is super tiny - if I had known or realized I would not have spent the money and just got the book...

The book and bear are fine, but the 6 month delay was ridiculous

I got this literally 6 months after ordering it. The book and bear are fine, but the 6 month delay was ridiculous.

Kindle formatting disappointing

The pictures are small and can not be enlarged upon. Two pages from the book are squeezed onto one “page” on the kindle. I am so disappointed.Read more
