Corduroy

Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store at night? The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator that he thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy, and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. Corduroy decides that this must be home and that Lisa must be his friend.

Please Note

The additional readers for the LLATL Red Book are the 'picture books' for you to read to your child throughout the programme. Once you've read one of these picture book stories to your child, then he/she will do an activity based on that story in their student workbook.

Once your child has finished the reading programme, he/she will be able to read those same "additional readers" which you read to them during the teaching process. I found that my children had favorites from these readers after having read to them. They would later read the books themselves and we would also use them as reference books for illustration/art examples.
