Corduroy: By Don Freeman

 This story is about a little stuffed bear who wears green overalls.  His name is Corduroy.  In this story, Corduroy lives in the toy store and a girl named Lisa sees Corduroy in the store. Lisa wants to buy Corduroy but her mother says no because he is too expensive and he is missing a button. That night Corduroy goes on an adventure to find his missing button but he can not find it. The next day Lisa comes back with her piggy bank and buys Corduroy.  She takes him home and sews on a new button.  In the end, Lisa and Corduroy talk about being friends and how they have always wanted a friend.

I think I would use this book in my classroom because it is just a fun read-aloud.  It seems perfect for lower elementary students, around kindergarten through 3rd grade. I am not sure how I would tie it into other parts of the lesson, possibly talk about the sequence of events.
