HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, CORDUROY!

Don Freeman Jody Wheeler

Join Corduroy as he gets ready to celebrate Valentine's Day in this delightful tale!
Corduroy is getting excited to host a Valentine's Day party for his friends. But first, there's lots of work to do. He has to make cards, bake cookies, and decorate. He's so excited to celebrate his love for his friends!

This board book is a perfect gift for little readers, and adults and children alike will delight in reading a brand new story from one of our most iconic characters.

For over 50 years the heartwarming adventures of Don Freeman's stuffed bear, Corduroy, have been irresistible childhood classics.
This is the 47th title in the classic series.

Don Freeman was introduced to the world of children's literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!" Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor book Fly High, Fly Low.
