Amazon.com
Long a legend to fans of Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, Tony DiTerlizzi is finally getting his due with a broader audience. The gifted, prankish artist (and now writer, too) debuted in 2000 with the delightfully deranged Jimmy Zangwow's Out-of-This-World Moon Pie Adventure and shows no signs of letting up with the equally weird and wonderful Ted.
As the story goes, Ted--the "big, raspberry-colored oaf" who was DiTerlizzi's imaginary childhood pal--was a little jealous about the Moon Pie Adventure and wanted in on the next book. So with a little help from this towering, pink, floppy-eared fluff ball, DiTerlizzi recounts how he and Ted first met over bowls of raspberry cereal and games of Monopoly-Twister. But, of course, Father will have nothing to do with this, so an elaborate campaign begins to convince him of Ted's existence, involving wall murals, impromptu indoor swimming pools, and all other sorts of mischief.
DiTerlizzi's dense, signature style is back--bordering on '50s-traditional but with a healthy touch of dementia--and his imaginative use of color and shadow makes every spread a treat. Though it might not have quite the zip of Jimmy Zangwow, this sophomore effort solidifies the start of DiTerlizzi's promising new career. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1-A little boy who craves his father's attention is visited by an imaginary playmate. Ted, a rather large, raspberry-colored blob of a friend with a fun-loving heart, has one problem-an inability to think about the possible consequences of his actions. An indoor swimming pool sure sounds like fun, but flooding dad's study with the garden hose? Not such a good idea, after all. The child tries to convince his father that his friend is real, but his attempts to do so backfire. His father finally banishes the creature from the house, forcing the boy to join Ted at the old playground. When the boy explains his feelings to his friend, Ted replies: "Sometimes, when people grow up, they forget how to have fun. Your father told me that when he was your age." It turns out that Ted used to be known as "Ned" when the little boy's father was a lonely lad. Ultimately, the father comes to the playground in search of his son, and is reunited with both his child and, in a moment of remembering things past, Ted/Ned. DiTerlizzi has created a warm and loving character in Ted, and his gouache, watercolor, and colored-pencil artwork brings the creature to life. Double-page illustrated spreads alternate with others that have the text displayed on one page and full-page paintings on the next. A sure winner for storytime sharing.-Lisa Gangemi Krapp, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY

A delightful tale for imaginative preschoolers
30. Juni 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Having a handful of his own imaginary friends (and also a father whose name happens to be Ted!), my 4yo son just adores this book!
The story line is basically that Dad is too busy/preoccupied to spend time with the son, and purply-pink friend Ted (visible only to the boy) shows up to liven things up a little. Ted was the dad's imaginary friend as a child, too, and in the end the Dad gets his priorities in order and "gets in touch with his inner child" again.
This is also a good story for grownups to pay attention to as you read it to your child: we should never let ourselves get so busy that we neglect our kids' emotional needs, and just because we don't see things the same way our kids see them doesn't mean that our kids are the ones who are in the wrong.
One interesting thing is that the mother in this family is never mentioned, leaving it up to the imagination whether she is there (but just not a player in these scenes) or whether she is gone (due to death or divorce or traveling on business or whatever). But as the story is about the relationship between the father and son (and, of course, purply-pinkish Ted!), my son never questioned where the mommy was or why she wasn't around. To parents raising children in a non-traditional family, this book might be a welcome change of pace.

Fun with an Imaginary Friend
18. Juli 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
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.

Think Pink!
24. Juni 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
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.
