Illustrated by
Jody Wheeler.
Based on the character created by Don Freeman. A prequel to the classic picture book successfully reproduces Freeman's artistic style in a story that does a fair job of explaining how Corduroy got his distinctive overalls and his name: longing for something to set him apart on the toy shelves, the bear takes his future into his own hands by roaming the store in search of an outfit.
