Most of you are probably familiar with author/illustrator Don Freeman from his gentle classic, "Corduroy" (1968). But long before that little bear came along, Freeman and his wife wrote and illustrated the exceptional "Pet of the Met" (1953), a gorgeous, thrilling picture book that has stayed with me (both physically and in my heart) for a good 40+ years. 📚📙📗 This tale of Maestro Petrini the mouse, who works as a page-turner at the Metropolitan Opera House, his nemesis Mefisto the cat, and the exciting performance that changes their lives, is unforgettable! Referencing Mozart's Magic Flute, it introduces kids to one of the world's greatest opera houses and its music in a way that is beautifully accessible...and teaches something about embracing new things and people along the way! Highly recommended! ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #petofthemet #donfreeman #donfreemanart #lydiafreeman #vikingpress #vikingjuvenile #seafarerbooks #vikingseafarer #opera #operabooksforchildren #themagicflute #mozart #mozartforchildren #operaforchildren #metropolitanopera #metropolitanoperahouse #mice #cats #music #1950schildrensbooks #oldbook #oldbooks #oldchildrensbooks #picturebook #childrensbookillustration #authorillustrator #vintagechildrensbooks #vintagepicturebook https://www.instagram.com/p/B0t1aAenMZe/?igshid=1gxu6pcv2qlds

Ramsey Lewis/Nancy Wilson- Never Wanna Say Goodnight Nancy ended her 22-year partnership with Capitol Records in 1982 signing with Columbia Records. For her debut, the label paired her with Columbia labelmate Ramsey Lewis for this release. Bassist Stanley Clarke sat in the producers chair. Wilson lends her trademark song stylings on four of the nine tunes.

A Corduroy Obsession

Growing up, I was infatuated with corduroy in every sense. I had red corduroy pants that I insisted on wearing everyday, and blue corduroy overalls as back up when my mom said no to the pants. For some reason, I just couldn’t get enough. So, it comes as no surprise that my favorite childhood book was Corduroy, written and illustrated by Don Freeman. This story follows bear named Corduroy who lives in a department store and has struggled to find a home due to a noticeable flaw, his missing button. Corduroy proceeds on a long journey to find his missing button, but comes up short in the end. However, this doesn’t matter. He prevails and finds a little girl who wants him just the way he is, and finally gets to go home with her. 

I was first introduced to this book around age four or five and remember being instantly hooked. The main appeal to me was the underlying story of a rescue taking place. Corduroy was this little tattered bear who was rescued and given a home by a little girl. As a kid, I had always wanted to be able to adopt a puppy from the humane society. I begged and pleaded with my parents, but I was never allowed to. Although purchasing a bear from a department store is much different than adopting a dog from the humane society, the story spoke to me. Because Corduroy was given such realistic characteristics and emotions throughout the story, he became a real animal to me. He was more than a toy bear. A line from the book that always stuck out to me was towards the end of the story. Corduroy is brought into Lisa’s room and says “This must be a home. I know I’ve always wanted a home!” (Freeman). This line has always made me happy and served as a resolution to Corduroy’s long journey to find a home. 

Looking back on Corduroy now, I would still consider it to be one of my favorite books. I find it to be an exciting book to read aloud to children and still love the overall message of the story. In my opinion, this book should fall under the category of quality literature. It demonstrates how to better accept yourself and others, while still maintaining an entertaining and adventurous tone. Moreover, the little girl, is black, which helps to better represent minorities in children’s literature. This type of representation is rare and is to be celebrated. With these heavily weighted qualities in mind, I believe this book is one that many students can identify with. I look forward to reading this book to my class one day, and having it available in my classroom library.

Seven lessons in creativity (from Don)

Source: https://donfreeman.info/seven-lessons

Let your passions feed your work.

Explore and observe voraciously.

Take what you see around you and give it your own fun twist.

Be versatile [in your methods and techniques].

Keep evidence of your process so others can learn.

Make friends and spread yourself around.

To keep from getting distracted, if necessary go stay in a studio, room, even a hotel when you have a deadline coming up!

Excerpted from Seven lessons in creativity from Don Freeman by Christine Wold Dryud, The Kerlan Awards  in Children's Literature,  1975-2001, Ruth Berman, Editor, Pogo Press, University of Minnesota, 2001, pages 310--414. Roy added some edits here.
