The Corduroy books were in good hands with Viola Davis. You can tell a little difference between the original creator and Viola Davis, but she gets to the heart of this beloved character. Altogether the book works the illustrations are fantastic and it’s all very nostalgic. The story is a little long for my taste, but it mixes in with the Corduroy of old.
