About the Author

Don Freeman was introduced to the world of children's literature when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!"


Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy.


Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low.

Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California danceband. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students' League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.

Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident; he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater.

He was introduced to the world of Childrens' Literature, when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!"

Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear, named Corduroy.

Corduroy is a timeless book, and this sequel continues the themes of having adventures and connecting with caring, considerate people. Lucky bear, to learn how kind people can be. For little children, this is a colorful page turner. For older ones, it’s a conversation starter, too.

The final published book by the late, great children's writer/illustrator, Don Freeman, A Pocket for Corduroy is a beautiful story about this highly inquisitive wee teddy bear's sudden desire to have a pocket attached to his overalls whilst he's waiting with his family in the laundrette. He goes off on a short journey in search of fabrics which leads him away from Lisa and her mother, and we see how wonderfully cute Corduroy's journey is from his point of view.
This is the kind of story that captures a child's imagination and engages their sense of adventure. Above all else, it is Don Freeman's gift to the world. A fantastic sequel by a wonderful author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book of kindness and love
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
The first time I saw this book was in 1997. My then 2 year old daughter and I were really happy to meet Lisa, a young girl who loves her friend Corduroy. It was also nice to read a story with a person of color, someone to identify with. I read this (and another one from the "Corduroy" series) to all 3 of my girls. My daughters are grown now but once in awhile their bedtime stories pop up in conversation.

They remember their bedtime stories and the coziness they felt as we read about Lisa's kindness and her love for Corduroy. The winter months we endured many snowstorms and did a lot of reading during the day. Spring/summer weather brought on days of strong winds with rain accompanied by thunder and lightening. This book was always on the top of their reading list day or night.

I decided to gather and replace a small collection of books and other items my girls enjoyed as they grew up so they can share them with their own children.
