Come celebrate Halloween with Corduroy in his new holiday board book!

Corduroy is excited to celebrate Halloween. Join him as he carves pumpkins, makes candy apples, and dresses in his Halloween costume!

This fun, festive story is the perfect gift for little hands. Great for autumn and the Halloween season, children and adults alike will love celebrating Halloween with one of our iconic characters.

For over 50 years the heartwarming adventures of Don Freeman's stuffed bear, Corduroy, have been irresistible childhood classics.
Don Freeman was introduced to the world of children's literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!" Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including Corduroy,A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low.
