Corduroy Goes To School Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Corduroy has a lot to do at school today. He has to bring in something that starts with the letter "B," feed the classroom pets, listen to a story, paint, have a snack, and help clean up. And all of his favorite friends are there to share the school day with him. In seven colorful spreads, children can lift the flaps and see what's hiding in the cubby, behind the swing, under the drawing pad or in many more inventive places. And Corduroy, the lovable, cuddly bear, is just the right, reassuring presence to make children feel comfortable with all the early experiences school can bring.

If your child is starting pre-school, this is a great book for showing your little one what to expect because Corduroy and his friends do the same things that your child will do in school -- paint, do puzzles, read, play on the swing set, etc.Many of the books about going to school have the characters doing other things (like dogs burying bones, ducks going swimming, etc.)Also, our book does not contain the error that the reviewer below mentions. The colors of the letters in the illustrations match what the text says.
My 2 year old son loves this book! We started reading a few weeks before preschool began, and it really helped him know what to expect at school. Even after school started, he wants to read it every night and tell us what he does at school that is just like Corduroy, as well as what is different. We've been able to discuss sharing, his teachers, and get more information from him about how he's feeling at school. The illustrations are vivid and colorful, and there are no errors in the book as the one review stated. The writing is nothing spectacular, but its really more about the story teller's skills when kids are at this age. One word of caution: the pages are soft, as are the flaps, not like board-based lift-the-flap books. If your child is very rough with things, this could tear pretty easily.
Got this book for my 22 mos old son before he started preschool, because we already had the Corduroy's Easter book... This book just confirmed how much I like this series. Goes through very standard preschool activities... Playground, circle time sharing, free play, practicing alphabet, other kids, and even a birthday party for the teacher. My son is now 2.5 and still pulls it off the shelf to read. (& we will be reading it every night in the next week before he starts at a new preschool!)
School-themed books are a great way for children to either work up some excitement or calm down their anxiety for the beginning of the school year. Based on Don Freedman’s beloved Corduroy, this introduction to school is a must-read.B.G. Hennessy skips the common before-school jitters plot and dives right into a school day as though Corduroy is a pro. This strategy seems to create a more positive effect overall. Though it can be beneficial to address school fears in a story’s beginning, it can also be more difficult to build up a positive momentum. On the contrary, this book radiates positive energy from cover to cover! We are escorted through playground fun, story time, puzzles, painting, and more.The best element is the book’s design. Lisa McCue is one of my favorite illustrators, always adding beautifully rich, bright colors to the pages. Added to this beauty is a lot of lift-the-flap fun which all kids love. Our little readers will want to look through this book over and over and over again. I only have one disclaimer, which is that some have complained about their edition’s illustrated color not matching with what the text claims it should be on one page. Others, however, claim their edition to be correct.Recommended for children ages 2 to 4!
My granddaughter loves Corduroy. This is a sturdy book with hidden objects under opening tabs which are appropriately placed (door, window, etc). Quick story to read but opening the surprises takes a little time.
My 32 year old son grew up with Corduroy books and he loved them. So now that I am babysitting daily, my 2 1/2 month old grandson, I wanted to add the Corduroy books to his library.As always, the books are great both for their stories and illustrations. When I read the books to my grandson because of the great colors he watches already as I turn from page to page.A classic book, that will always remain to be classic!I highly recommend the Corduroy series of books for older sons to read to their sons!
My granddaughter went to nursery school for the first time this fall and this was a fabulous little book to introduce her to school. She loves Corduroy and at the age of 18 months would sit quietly through the entire first book, so I knew this would be a hit.
This is a fun book for going back to school. Corduroy is at school and gets to do all kinds of things. Throughout the story there are many various lift flaps a young reader-listener can raise and see new things. This book is a good interaction book for an adult trying to get a toddler to talk and answer questions about as well... simple pictures within the big pictures and fun interesting ones
