PICTURE BOOKS
(4) K-3 In five brief episodes, a young boy and his huge, pink, raspberry-loving imaginary friend, Ted, enjoy a series of misadventures that the boy's overworked father fails to appreciate, until at the end he recalls his own imaginary childhood friend, "Ned." Although the father's conversion is too sudden, the mixed-media illustrations convey fifties-style detail effectively, and the understated text pairs with overstated Ted for appealing humor.
