Cute little book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

The book is great-quality paper, bright illustrations and a meaningful story. Love how Corduroy thinks of his friends and asks Santa to give them presents too.
Also it shows Christmas routine pretty well, as in writing a letter to Santa, wrapping gifts, baking cookies, singing carols and leaving a cup of milk with cookies for Santa. Worked great for showing my toddler what we would do for Christmas. Definitely recommend this cute little book!

Corduroy Thinks of Others Instead of Himself - Great Moral!

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

I got this book to read to my daughter around Christmas time and she likes it so much we end up reading it way beyond Christmas! Corduroy starts thinking about things he wants for Christmas from Santa, but then thinks that if he asks for all these things for himself, then his close friends might not get things that they want. So instead of thinking of himself, he tells Santa what to bring each of his friends instead and he feels such joy watching his friends open their gifts. I love the message behind the story and the great moral it teaches: being unselfish and thinking of others instead, which in our society that has become so self-centered, is rare. I love the illustrations as well - they are so bright, colorful, and detailed.

Only giving this four stars, because it's a big departure from the original Corduroy stories, as his human friend isn't mentioned at all. Just Corduroy and his animal friends. Corduroy also looks very different from the original. But overall, it's a sweet Christmas story with a great message and one that we love to read all year.

24-day count down to Christmas

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017

Purchased this book for a 24 day countdown to Christmas. I wrap up 24 books and put them in a open box. Then Dec. 1st I let one of my grandchildren open a book then I read it to them. This way they learn to count, listen, take turns and wait. It is fun to do.

Sweet story

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017

This is a sweet story about Corduroy's generosity for his friends-- he makes up a wish list for himself, but realizes that his friends would like those things even more. A good addition to our Christmas book collection. (I don't mind that Lisa doesn't make an appearance in this book-- there isn't really any place for her in the story line.)

Not the real Corduroy book!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is not written by the original author. My five year old granddaughter loves Corduroy and A Pocket for Corduroy but she did not like this book at all! It is not well written like Don't Freeman's original books. Please do not waste your money.

Has a good teaching lesson!

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. She likes the original Corduroy story too, but I think this one is even better than the original because this one teaches a story about not only thinking about yourself, but thinking about others. Corduoy wants all these things from Santa but then he realizes if he asks for all those things, then his friends might not get everything they want so then he revises his letter to Santa to ask for things for his friends and lessens the amount of things that he asks for for himself. It's a nice lesson and story! Super cute!

Such a sweet story

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014

Verified Purchase

It's April now and we are still reading this book. My toddler can't get enough. He loves it so much. We definitely do less of the "Santa" thing in our house, and while this book is more based on Santa and the fun stuff you do at Christmas, it also focuses on giving to your friends over yourself. People seem upset this book doesn't preach the True Meaning of Christmas, but it doesn't claim to. It's a sweet book about friends and fun at Christmastime with beautiful pictures and a fun story. If you want a more religious Christmas book, try God Gave us Christmas by Lisa Tawn Bergren. I cried reading that one to my boy!

Corduroy at his best

Reviewed in Germany on December 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

We are Corduroy fans and in this story he is realizes that his Christmas wish for himself might mean his friends do not get anything from Santa. Good example for children of thinking about others and sacrificing so that those you care about might also enjoy nice things. There is a great scene where Corduroy discovers gifts under the tree, my five year old was imitating that for days. Classic book for the holiday season and contemplating the "meaning of Christmas".
