"Corduroy"
This is such a sweet endearing story, with brightly colored pictures. I can see why its one of her favorites.
Her Nonno (grandfather) used to read this to her along with her stuffed Corduroy Bear. She liked that Corduroy so cute and her favorite part is when he is looking for his button. Although her copy has been donated & passed on for a younger child to enjoy, she still smiles and reminisces when she sees one in the store.
Description From Amazon:
Have you ever dreamed of being locked in a department store at night? The endearing story of Corduroy paints a picture of the adventures that might unfold (for a teddy bear at least) in such a situation. When all the shoppers have gone home for the night, Corduroy climbs down from the shelf to look for his missing button. It's a brave new world! He accidentally gets on an elevator that he thinks must be a mountain and sees the furniture section that he thinks must be a palace. He tries to pull a button off the mattress, but he ends up falling off the bed and knocking over a lamp. The night watchman hears the crash, finds Corduroy, and puts him back on the shelf downstairs. The next morning, he finds that it's his lucky day! A little girl buys him with money she saved in her piggy bank and takes him home to her room. Corduroy decides that this must be home and that Lisa must be his friend. Youngsters will never get tired of this toy-comes-alive tale with a happy ending, so you may also want to seek out Dan Freeman's next creation, A Pocket for Corduroy. (Ages 3 to 8)
