Corduroy

Corduroy is a production based on the 1968 children's book written and illustrated by Don Freeman and published by The Viking Press. The story centers on the titular character, a sentient teddy bear in a department store who is named after the corduroy outfit he wears. The original book was named one of the "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children" by the US National Education Association in 2007, and it was featured as one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by School Library Journal.
