4. Where's Spot by Eric Hill***
5. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle****

The story Corduroy by Don Freemen was my favorite children story story because of the plot and his adventure for a family. Corduroy is a little bear in green overalls with one missing button, who lives in a store in the toy department. He's desperate to find a family and be taken care of. One day when a girl and her mom come to the store she see's the bear and asks her mom to buy it for her but he mother told her no, because they didn't have money for it and because he was missing a button. Corduroy is upset because he wants to go home with a family where he knows he would be taken care of. When the store closes he goes out to search for his missing button. He goes up to the funiture part of the store and hops on a mattress. He tries to pull off one of the buttons on the mattress and is can't get it off. When a security guard comes up he sees Corduroy on the mattress and takes him back down to the toy section. Corduroy is sad when he knows he can't find his button. The next day the same girl who asked her mom for the bear, named Lisa, came and picked him up. She bought him with her own money she had saved and took him home. She sewed on a new button and Corduroy was happy because he knew that he would be loved and taken care of.
