Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐ The Corduroy books were in good hands with Viola Davis. You can tell a little difference between the original creator and Viola Davis, but she gets to the heart of this beloved character. Altogether the book works the illustrations are fantastic and it‘s all very nostalgic. The story is a little long for my taste, but it mixes in with the Corduroy of old.

“Oh mommy!“ She said. “Look!“ There's the very bear I've always wanted.“

The moment the little girl comes into the toy store with her mother and makes eye contact with the teddy bear I knew they would be connected with each other.

Corduroy is a classic novel. This adorable heartwarming story that all children should be exposed to in their life time. The illustrations are incredible and beautifully colored. The illustrations are in more of a sketch like drawings and the colors used in the illustrations are calm and inviting. The images on the pages don't take up the whole page but are detailed enough that you don't even need to read the words.

My parents and older siblings read to me. (I‘m 15, 17 & 19 years younger than my siblings) One of my earliest memories is of my mom reading Corduroy to me. It‘s still my favorite picture book.

First was Corduroy then Encyclopedia Brown.

There are many different variations of the original book that I would love to incorporate into my classroom.

Picture Book. Published 1968. This is another amazing classic children‘s picture book that I read growing up. This is a great read and was also mentioned as one of the “Teachers Top 100 Books for Children”. One of my favorite books of all time!
