Synopsis
A boy with a "mop" of hair, a lion who wants to get all dressed up, a praying mantis with a passion for music and the iconic teddy bear, Corduroy, are just a few of the characters who live in the magical and welcoming worlds that Don Freeman created for children and for the child in all of us.
