Plot edit

Lisa accidentally loses Corduroy, her teddy bear, at a laundromat. After a series of adventures, while Corduroy searches for material to make a pocket, he becomes trapped in a laundry basket until he is found the next morning by the laundromat's owner. Corduroy is reunited with Lisa, who promptly takes him home to sew a pocket onto his overalls so that Corduroy can carry a name card with him.

Reception edit

Mary LeCompte of Common Sense Media praised the book, writing that it "has all the charm of the original with a gentle but lively plot and highly descriptive pictures."[2] Kirkus Reviews was also generally positive.[3]
