Infants & Toddlers
Corduroy's Busy Street
Featuring Don Freeman's Corduroy...Pictures by Lisa McCue

It shows Corduroy the bear's travels through his neighborhood meeting people such as the letter carrier, firefighters, and police officers. Nicely illustrated with a short sentence on each page, just right for short attention spans.
There are several books in the "Corduroy" series and they come as "boardbooks" which are sturdy enough to withstand the treatment dished out by this age group.
