Finding A Pocket

1999-12-02
I really liked the book A Pocket for Corduroy. The pictures are colorful and full of details that go along with the story. Corduroy is a curious bear looking for a pocket to put on his pants. While he is looking for his pocket, he finds himself in many different adventurous situations in a laundromat. This book allows the child to use his/her imagination. It also teaches children to be helpful to others.

Loved by My 2 Year Old

My 2 1/2 year old adores this book. In fact, I have had to make a rule of no more than twice a day. He calls it the "laundry book". I must disagree about the caged bear scene being frightening. My son specifically requests the caged bear scene and is obviously not scared in the least. It is a sweet tale of a little girl and her little bear. I love how the author uses some big words in a children's book. My son's vocabulary has grown exponentially!

Adorable follow up to "Corduroy" book

I likeed this book for my daughter. She loves the Corduroy character and identifies well with the book. The same characters from the previous Corduroy series, Lisa, and her mother and new ones like the artist, and the laundromat manager. Corduroy remains the same mischevious bear as he wonders away in search of a pocket. The story line is great for 3+ age group as it teaches children about what what goes on at a laundromat and other social skills like staying near mom or dad.

Entertaining-but maybe not for young toddlers

I thought the book was entertaining and cute, and an introduction to what goes on at a laundromat. However, I don't think I would get this book for a young todder (under 4) due to the fact that there was one scene where Corduroy is alone in the dark of laudromat, inside a wired laundry cart, and he looks terrified. The picture is very scary and sad. I think it's too much for a little kid. But overall, it's cute, and the ending is good.

adorable!

This adorable story is an all time favorite fantasy. Although at first it seems as if the story is realistic, it's not long before the teddy bear is up walking and talking.

A Pocket for Corduroy by Don Freeman

At the laundromat, Corduroy gets out of the chair that Lisa had told him to stay in while she was helping her mom put her clothes in the washer. He looks around the laundromat for a pocket. He found towels and washcloths. Then he found a laundromat bag that had just come out of the washer. He got into the bag and as the artist was putting the clothes into the dryer, Corduroy tumbled out. He was all damp. The artist dried Corduroy's overalls and left him on top of a washer because he didn't know who he belonged to. That night, Corduroy stayed in the laundromat alone. He looked for a pocket again. He pours out a box of detergent chips that he thinks is snow and he thinks he is skiing but he is really sliding into a basket. He thinks that he's in a cage which he doesn't want to be in. He falls asleep...I would recommend this book to anyone who has read other books done by this author. If you liked his other books, you will love this one. I loved it!
