Corduroy was first introduced to readers by Don Freeman in 1968 and has become a contemporary classic. Now everybody's favorite department store bear comes to you in a brand new series aimed at beginning readers. In Corduroy's Hike, Lisa is going on a hike and Corduroy decides that he would like to go too. But then Corduroy falls out of her backpack. Can he find Lisa before she goes home?

A classic character in children’s literature for nearly forty years is back for a brand-new adventure! Corduroy the beloved bear slips out very early one morning to get a birthday present for Lisa. He spies what he thinks is a yellow balloon up in the sky, thinking that would be perfect for her. But when the sun rises, the balloon (really the full moon) disappears. And now Corduroy is lost. Lisa finds him, but not before Corduroy succeeds in getting just the right gift—a lollipop as yellow and round as the moon. This brand-new Corduroy picture book is written in the whimsical style of Don Freeman and illustrated in the exact scratchboard technique he used to create Corduroy and A Pocket for Corduroy.

It's Helping Hands Week at Corduroy's school. He's learning about different kinds of community helpers - such as firefighters, police officers, doctors, and nurses - and the ways he and his friends can help out, too. They recycle paper, cans, and bottles, and collect food for the local food bank. The lift-the-flap format enables children to interact with Corduroy and his pals, and this informative, accessible topic will encourage exploration of other ways everyone can help make the world a better place.

Corduroy and his friends are heading to the beach for a fun-filled day of playing by the sea. First they jump over the waves and fly kites, then it’s time for a tasty picnic lunch and a special treat—ice cream! In the afternoon, Corduroy and his pals collect seashells and build sandcastles. Seven spreads filled with thirty-five flaps will keep small fingers happily busy.
