YOTTOY Corduroy Bear Collection

Product Description

Corduroy Bear comes to life in our soft plush creation with embroidered eyes and a hand-stitched nose. Corduroy’s soft caramel colored fur is complemented by the rich green of Corduroy’s signature corduroy overalls, which are completely removable. Staying true to the story, our Corduroy soft toy humbly displays a lone blue button... but we've added a hidden surprise! Tucked inside Corduroy’s loose overall strap, we've hidden another securely attached blue button. Little ones’ eyes light up at this discovery, and they never tire of finding Corduroy’s missing button. Measures 13”H; not machine washable; surface wash and air dry only.

Written and illustrated by Caldecott Medal winning Don Freeman, Corduroy is one of the best loved bears in children's literature since its publication in 1968. Not only is it a best-selling Children’s book,Corduroywas included in the “Top 100 Picture Books” of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal. It was also listed as “Teachers’ Top 100 Books for Children” in a 2007 online poll by the National Education Association.

Corduroytells a heartwarming story of a teddy bear at a department store named Corduroy, who has lost a button and is afraid of not being able to find a friend or a home without the missing button. Corduroy finally finds love, fulfillment… and a button, through the devotion of a young girl who realizes that this bear is special.
