It’s Throwback Thursday! So let’s talk about one of my favorite
books from my childhood! Yay!
Ted by Tony
DiTerlizzi is one of my favorite childhood storybooks. Ted is the story of “A
father and a son and the big, raspberry-colored, fun-loving, troublemaking,
best friend who brings them closer together. Awe! Precious!
Ok so where am I going with this…well let’s talk about the
beautiful art in the book which you can see over
Pretty pictures are great, but that is not my favorite thing
in the book. My favorite thing about this book is how it inspires and
encourages childhood joy and imagination. It encourages you to keep your
childhood fantasies even when you are grown and have your own children. One of
my favorite quotes is all over the internet and I don’t even know where it came
from originally but it says “Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.”
I try really hard to live my life like this. Which doesn’t always happen, but
it is a whole lot more fun when it does.
Anyway, I love Ted. It
taught me that my childhood fantasies didn’t have to go away just because I got
older. Which is why you can find me watching Spongebob Squarepants and Foster’s
Home For Imaginary Friends.
That’s all for today! Leave a comment telling me your
favorite childhood book, your childhood fantasies, or what children’s book I
should talk about next week for Throwback Thursday!
Go do something childish!
