And now Corduroy is lost. Can he reuinte with his best friend and find her the perfect birthday present? Written in the whimsical style of Don Freeman and illustrated in the exact scratchboard technique he used to create Corduroy and A Pocket for Corduroy, Corduroy Lost and Found will delight even Corduroy's very youngest fans. This board book edition is publishing just in time for the 50th anniversary of Corduroy's original publication! About the Author B.G. Hennessy grew up in Wantagh on Long Island, NY. At the University of Wisconsin in Madison, she majored in fine art and learned how to design, print and bind handmade books. She also took courses in Children’s Literature. The combination of form and content in the picture book format fascinated her and after graduation she headed for NYC where she worked for 17 years in children’s book publishing as a designer and art director. She is the author of Road Builders and The First Night, as well as many books starring Corduroy, the loveable toy bear created by Don Freeman. She now lives with her family in Arizona. Don Freeman (1908–1978) 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. During his career as an artist, sketching impressions of Broadway shows for the  New York Times and  The Herald Tribune, he 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!" He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy.
