"Ted" by Tony DiTerlizzi  (September Report)

This is an older book, but a fun story to read. It is about a young boy and his father. The father has forgotten what it was like to be a boy. One day Ted, a great big pink dog/pig/bear-like creature who loves raspberries, comes into the boy's life. Of course mayhem begins, especially because Ted is invisible to the father. After several crazy antics Ted leaves. The boy decides to run away and find Ted. He finds him and Ted tells him about when his father was a boy and the fun they had together. Does the father ever find his son and renew his friendship with Ted (Ned to him)? Read "Ted" and you'll understand the magic of childhood and best friends.
