Corduroy is a bear in a department store. Everyday, he and all of his toy friends wait to be purchased so they can have a home. Corduroy’s downfall is that he is missing the button on the strap of his overalls. Since Corduroy isn’t perfect (and also Lisa’s mother “spent too much already”), Lisa’s mother tells her not to get him. Corduroy sets out on a journey to find his button in hopes of being accepted and finding a home. Corduroy is unable to find his button, but regardless Lisa comes to the department store to buy him. Once in her room, Lisa sews a button on Corduroy’s overalls and states, “I like you just the way you are…but you’ll be more comfortable with your shoulder strap fastened.”
I never really noticed that Lisa and Corduroy actually speak to each other. Corduroy says, “You must be a friend… I’ve always wanted a friend. Lisa continues the conversation by saying, “Me too!”
The story starts with the main character suffers a downfall (lost button) so then he must set out on a journey to find it. In the end, of course, the story has its happy ending.
After looking at the illustrations, I noticed that the night watchman was overweight with jolly red cheeks. In my opinion, this is very stereotypical of a night watchman or police officer.
