About the Book Meet the Characters Order the Book Tell a Friend



Andrew and Midas at Golden Oaks Ranch Uncle Ted originally wrote this story as a Christmas present for his Nephew and Godson, Andrew. At the time, Andrew loved airplanes and enjoyed playing with Midas, Uncle Ted's real life Golden Retriever.

So Uncle Ted wrote a story about Midas and the Little Red Airplane. After the story was finished, Uncle Ted thought that a couple of sheets of typed paper did not seem like a really fun present, especially since Andrew did not know how to read at that time. So Uncle Ted decided to add some pictures to his story.

One year later, after studying many cartooning books, Uncle Ted created the character of Midas and the rest of the characters of Golden Oaks Ranch.

After seeing the first draft that Uncle Ted created with all the characters, a friend suggested that Uncle Ted publish the book. With encouragement from family and friends, Uncle Ted decided to create a book for all kids to enjoy and decided to involve a professional illustrator.

Through good luck and fortune, Uncle Ted met Eddie Young. Eddie fell in love with the project at the very first meeting. It is evident in the detailed illustrations of the book, as Eddie really brought Midas and the rest of the characters to life.

Now finally, Andrew can get his Christmas present.
