Reddit reviews Corduroy (Book and Bear)

reading is awesome

I have a whole children's books list for work. I take this opportunity to list some of my favorite books on my list for all to see.

The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle. A delightfully repetitious book that children can join in on about a pompous ladybug who pretends to be tough but in reality is not very tough. "Hey you! Want to fight?!"

The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. A book about a pacifist bull who refuses to bullfight. I love this story as a way to highlight introverts and pacifists instead of macho, extroverts like most books do.

Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. How do you even describe this book? Harold uses a magical crayon that creates whatever he draws. His adventures are created by himself. He causes mischief and gets out of mischief all by his own creations.

Spoon by Amy Rosenthal. This is about a spoon that is uncertain with its place in the world. He believes that knives, forks, and chopsticks get to have all the fun. His parents teach him otherwise. Who else gets to eat ice cream?!

Henny Penny by Paul Galdone. The sky is falling and Henny Penny must tell the King! A fun nonsense rhyming book with repetition that children can join in the refrain.

Corduroy by Don Freeman. A stuffed bear in a department store is almost purchased by a little girl until her mother tells her that she spent too much money and the bear is missing a button. Corduroy ventures off through the department store to find his button. I love this little story. Plus the linked version comes with a Corduroy!

Mr. Gumpy's Outing by John Buningham. The amazon summary is probably better than what I would say: It's a pleasant day, so Mr. Gumpy decides to go for a boat ride. Each barnyard animal begs to join him, and Mr. Gumpy agrees-as long as each behaves! Two children join the fun, and as soon as the boat is launched, everyone does exactly what Mr. Gumpy asked them not to do.

Some honorable mentions from my list: Knuffle Bunny, A Visitor for Bear, I Got Two Dogs, I Ain't Gonna Paint No More, The Three Pigs, The Big Green Monster (someone else already posted this!)

Oh god, I could spend hours in this topic. I have so many books already that are not on my list. I may be stealing this idea for a contest later this week. Thank you for the contest. Reading is awesome and I love instilling a passion for reading in preschoolers.

If anyone is adding books for their child, I added this one to Julianas. I thought it was really cute, so maybe someone else will want to add it to theirs too.
