Corduroy Takes a Bow by Viola Davis

lacestow7's review against another edition

This book was a little longer than the ones we’ve been reading lately, so it took a little longer to get through since my little one didn’t want to sit still the whole time.

This was a cute book with pretty illustrations. I think this might be a story my daughter will enjoy more as she gets older.

I don't know the original Corduroy book but thought this one was cute.

Corduroy goes to the theater with Lisa and finds himself seeing many parts of the production.

It was cute. It was fun to have a classic character resurface. It is a nice introduction to bits of the theater world. Corduroy’s fans will like the book because of the nostalgia factor but there was nothing about this story that made it amazing.

I picked this up solely because it was written by the amazing Viola Davis, and stayed because of the cute story. It made my heart flutter!

Cute--the new illustrator follows the spirit of Freeman's illustrations without copying--a worthy addition to the Corduroy story!

Not as good as the original, but still pretty cute. Corduroy is troublesome as usual.

I actually liked this book better than the original Corduroy. It is a lovely little introduction to live theatre for children.
