A Christmas Wish for Corduroy

by B.G. Hennessy (Author), Don Freeman (Creator), Jody Wheeler (Illustrator) Format: Board book

Purchase options and add-ons

A classic holiday story about a teddy bear loved by children for 50 years.
 
It’s almost Christmas and Corduroy sits on a department store shelf, wishing he could be a child’s holiday gift—but he’s a plain bear, and nobody seems to notice him. He sets out across the store to ask Santa Claus for help, but he can’t visit without wearing a special outfit! After stopping to try on hats, boots, and even baby clothes, Corduroy finally arrives at the North Pole. Can Santa help Corduroy find a new home in time for Christmas?
 
With warm humor and classic art, A Christmas Wish for Corduroy takes readers back to the beginning and shows how Corduroy became the beloved bear we know today. This is a heartwarming story about the power of hope, perseverance, and friendship--an important addition to any Corduroy collection, and the perfect way to celebrate Corduroy's 50th anniversary.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for A Christmas Wish for Corduroy:

"A story that can stand next to the original two Corduroy tales without apology. A pleasurable and satisfying back story for the beloved bear named Corduroy. Not too long, not too hard—just right. "--Kirkus Reviews


"As they provide a lovely bit of backstory for Corduroy fans, the creators ofCorduroy Lost and Found again show their prowess at recreating Freeman’s inviting narrative and scratchboard art."--Publisher's Weekly

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

B. G. Hennessy is the author of forty picture books published in more than ten languages worldwide, including fifteen books based on Don Freeman’s beloved Corduroy bear. Hennessy begins each project by searching for the right question. What would a child ask? Or “What would happen if there was a dinosaur in my backyard?” Or “How do you build a road?” Or maybe “What makes someone happy ever after?” Finding the right question is her starting point.

When writing the Corduroy stories, Hennessy looks for just the right question for Corduroy: “What should I get Lisa for her birthday? How can I find a home? Where did I lose my button?” Once she discovers the question, she works on finding the words to bring the story alive.

Hennessy believes that a child’s imagination and sense of wonder grow out of their natural curiosity about the world. “Questions,” she says, “are where that journey begins. Books can provide some of the answers. Reading to a child is
