Corduroy Written and Illustrated by Don Freeman
Synopsis: Corduroy, a cuddly stuffed bear, sits on a department store shelf day after day hoping someone will buy him and take him home. Despite his missing button, a little girl buys him and takes him home. Corduroy feels loved and has a friend.
Introduction Activity: Before the children enter the room, place a brightly colored jumbo button within view of your circle-time area. Before reading the story tell the class that you have lost your button. Describe what it looks like and have the class scan the room from their seats. When they see the button, retrieve it and congratulate them on their observation skills. Then explain to them that the selected book is about a teddy bear who also is looking for his button.
