Corduroy - Lisa

Corduroy by Don Freeman will always be one of my favorite books!  Corduroy is the classic story of Lisa, a little girl who sees the stuffed bear in green overalls and decides that he's just the bear for her, but her mother disagrees because he's missing a button.  That night, Corduroy searches the department store where he lives for his missing button so that someone will buy him.  Lisa comes back the next day and buys him, despite the missing button.
