Summary: Think Pink!
Comment: From the mind of Tony DiTerlizzi comes yet another delightful romp through the imagination entitled Ted. Ted is the imaginary friend of a lonely little boy. Ted looks something like a giant basset hound dipped in Strawberry Quick. The boy's father is a rather busy fellow, being very business like and such. Far too busy to find time to play with his son. Of course this being the time when imaginary friends are needed most up pops Ted. Ted and the boy promptly get themselves into all kinds of mischief. The boy's father doesn't believe in imaginary friends and forbids his son from having them in the house. Later the boy discovers that Ted was his father's imaginary friend when he was a child. In the end the boy is able to prove to his father that Ted is real by leading his father to a playground where a certain item from the man's childhood is hidden. Ted is a solid work from an extremely gifted artist. Certain to be a shinning gem in any child's collection of books.

Summary: An imaginary friend causes a little trouble...
Comment: My daughter has a herd of imaginary friends, so she and I both enjoyed this book. Imaginary friend Ted arrives for a visit to a small boy, he wreaks havoc much to the consternation of the boy's father. But in the end, Ted helps teach dad a lesson in having fun.
The illustrations are well detailed, though Ted looked a little bit....well, almost scary looking. The boy resembles Harry Potter.
Overall, I'd recommend this book.

Summary: Fun with an Imaginary Friend
Comment: Ted arrived just after the narrator's birthday. He was huge, purple pink, loved raspberries and was ready to play with the still unplayed with birthday presents (father was too busy and just hadn't had time, yet). After a great game of Monopoly Twister Ted decided to give the young man a hair cut and shave. Father wasn't happy with the results and called Ted imaginary. So Ted decided the easiest way to show father he was real was for the two of them to draw his portrait. Since no piece of paper was large enough, they decided to use the wall. Father didn't appreciate the artwork and was very angry. Ted and his young cohort figured father needed to relax and play and that an indoor swimming pool would be fun, so they flooded father's study with the garden hose. Father was very, very angry and banned all imaginary friends from the house. If Ted had to go, the little boy decided, then he'd go with him and left his father a note saying he was going to live, with Ted, at the old playground...... Tony Diterlizzi has really captured the essence of a little boy who, more than anything wants to spend time and play with his dad. His charming, witty text is only outdone by his superb large, colorful and expressive illustrations that bring the story to life and imaginations will soar as children pore over all the vivid detail in each picture. Youngsters will laugh out loud as they enjoy the antics of this unusual dynamic duo trying to engage father in their fun. With a happily ever after ending that will warm your heart and a simple, gentle message, "Sometimes, when people grow up, they forget how to have fun.", Ted is perfect for youngsters 4-8 and a wonderful read aloud story the whole family should share, together.
