Before he met Lisa, Corduroy was just a little bear in the toy department of a big store, waiting for somebody to take him home.

It's almost Christmas, and Corduroy wishes he could be a child's holiday gift—but he's a plain bear, and nobody seems to notice him. He sets out across the department store to ask Santa Claus for help, but how can he visit Santa without a special outfit? After trying on hats, shoes, and even baby clothes, Corduroy finally travels to the North Pole. Can Santa help Corduroy find a home in time for Christmas? 

With warm humor and classic art, A Christmas Wish for Corduroy takes readers back to the beginning and shows how Corduroy became the beloved bear we know today. This is a heartwarming story about het power of hope, perseverance, and friendship—an important addition to any Don Freeman collection.
