Reviews for A Christmas Wish for Corduroy

Praise for A Christmas Wish for Corduroy A story that can stand next to the original two Corduroy tales without apology. A pleasurable and satisfying back story for the beloved bear named Corduroy. Not too long, not too hard--just right. -- Kirkus Reviews As they provide a lovely bit of backstory for Corduroy fans, the creators of Corduroy Lost and Found again show their prowess at recreating Freeman's inviting narrative and scratchboard art. -- Publisher's Weekly
