Corduroy (book)
''Corduroy'' is a 1968 children's book written and illustrated by Don Freeman, and published by Viking Press. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children." It was one of the "Top 100 Picture Books" of all time in a 2012 poll by ''School Library Journal''.
==History==
Don Freeman said that he had an idea of writing a story taking place in a department store, in which a character wanders around after the doors close. He wanted the storyline to portray a difference between the luxury of such department store and the simple life most people live, at the same time highlighting basic values. The bear's name comes from another children's book by Don Freeman, ''Corduroy, the Inferior Decorator'', which tells about a boy driving his parents crazy by painting on their apartment's walls. The book was never published, but Freeman reused the boy's name when writing ''Corduroy''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Don Freeman » The Story Behind Corduroy )〕
The book was rejected when first sent to Freeman's publisher, Viking Press. The writer then sent it to a number of other publishers, who also provided him with negative feedback. Freeman presented the book once again to Viking Press and was finally given a chance.〔
Don Freeman created a sequel, ''A Pocket for Corduroy'', in 1978. In 2006, a children's book author B. G. Hennessy published ''Corduroy Lost and Found'' as a sequel to Don Freeman's original works.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=B.G.
