This is such a cute book, a continuation of the book, Corduroy. This time, Corduroy wanders away at the laundromat and Lisa can't find him. Corduroy ends up getting washed while at the laundromat, but eventually, Lisa finds him. A great book for young elementary school kids to have. I will definitely have both Corduroy books in my classroom.

This book is about a little girl names Lisa, that has a precious teddy bear named Coruroy. Lisa and her mom go to the laundry mat and Corduroy goes too. While at the laundry mat, Corduroy becomes a curious teddy and wonders off. He ends up getting washed and lost. He sleeps at the laurdry mat until Lisa finally finds him the next day. This is a really sure book and students love it. This was one of my favorite books growing up and i think all students enjoy it.

A little girl named Lisa takes her bear, Corduroy, to the laundromat, where he decides he need to find himself a pocket. He climbs into the wet laundry, in search of a pocket and finds what he thinks is a cave. Lisa turns back and Corduroy is gone! He is in someone else’s laundry and just misses getting dried. The man whose clothes Corduroy is left in the Laundromat after it closes and finds soap chips, which he thinks is snow. He falls asleep in a laundry basket and Lisa comes to find him the next day. Lisa makes Corduroy a pocket and a name card.

This story is so cute. It’s told from the point of view of a stuffed animal but the author makes him so believable. It makes me think of stuffed animals I had as a child. I would make up stories about them and what they needed or wanted.

In a class, we could bring our favorite stuffed animals to class and have a show-and-tell or story time. We also could also write about a time we lost something that was precious to us.

The cute sequel to Corduroy, I love how he gets lost in a laundry mat and just to find a pocket for himself.
