Prologue

Let’s Take a Quick Look Back

At the First Story About Me,

Thaddeus, Keep Your Eye on the Ball!

¡Tadeo, mantén el ojo en la pelota!

Prologue in English
Have you ever ridden a unicycle? Not long ago, I went on a trip with my family from my home in Tequesta, Florida to Boston, Massachusetts. One of our first stops was the famous Quincy Market where I rode my unicycle backwards and forwards, and at the same time, I juggled purple, green, yellow and blue juggling pins. A bunch of people cheered for me. I felt like a superhero! My mommy says that I have ELECTRIC blue eyes. I am not sure exactly what that means, but I know for sure that my favorite color is blue. I wear blue almost all of the time.
My name is Thaddeus, but I am also called Thad. I really love my family and my special friends, Lily and Matt. We are all eight years old, and we all have dogs that we rescued from a shelter. We love to read books, and we also play musical instruments in our own band. My friends are bilingual. They speak two languages, English and Spanish. I study Spanish because I want to be BILINGUAL when I grow up. Am I a NERD? Maybe, but speaking Spanish is really cool!
My mommy is a doctor of education. She teaches college students in the office at our house. Mommy wants to work at home to be near our family because Daddy is away from home a lot. He travels to China and Japan on the High Seas. He is the captain of a huge ship that brings cell phones to the United States, along with computers, video games, and much more.
My daddy is very cool. He taught me how to play baseball. I did not realize that I could not catch a ball for beans. Daddy said, “ Thaddeus, keep your eye on the ball!” You will not believe what I did after Daddy said that to me three times. Well, if you want to know and also have a good laugh, you can read the first book of this series by that title, Thaddeus, Keep your Eye on the Ball!
Mommy and Daddy taught me about IDIOMS. At times, IDIOMS can be weird, but at other times, they an be comical and fascinating! Do you know what IDIOMS are? If not, you will learn about them in all the books about me, Thaddeus. And I hope you enjoy this next story here about how much fun I had on the Flying Horses.

Prólogo en Español
Jamás has montado un monciclo? Hace poco tiempo fuí de viaje con mi familia desde mi casa en Tequesta, Florida a Boston, Massachusetts. Uno de nuestros primeros destinos era el famoso Quincy Market donde montaba mi monociclo hacia atrás y hacia adelante. Un montón de personas me aclamaron. Me sentía como un superhéroe. Mi mamá dice que tengo ojos de un azul eléctrico. No estoy seguro de lo que ésto signífica exactamente, pero yo sé por seguro que mi color favorito es azul. Yo llevo puesto el color azul casi todo el tiempo.
Mi nombre es Tadeo pero, también me llaman Tad. Amo a mi familia muchísimo y a mis amigos muy especiales, Lily y Matt. Todos nosotros tenemos ocho años, y todos tenemos perros rescatados de un refugio. A nosotros nos gusta leer libros con frequencia, y también tocar música con nuestra propia banda. Mis amigos son bilingües. Ellos hablan dos idiomas, el inglés y el español. Yo estudio el español y un día espero ser bilingüe cuando sea un adulto. Soy un NERD? Quizás, pero hablar español es genial.
Mi mamá es doctora en educación. Ella enseña a estudiantes de la universidad desde su oficina de nuestra casa. Mamá quiere trabajar en casa para estar cerca de nuestra familia porque papá está lejos de la casa por mucho tiempo. Él viaja a China y Japón por Alta Mar. Él es capitán de un buque enorme que trae los cellurares a los Estadsos Unidos juntos con las computadores, videojuegos, y mucho más.
Mi papá es muy chévere. Me enseño como jugar beisbol. Yo no me di cuenta que no podía agarrar la pelota de beisbol para nada. Papá me dijo, “Tadeo, mantén el ojo en la pelota.” Tú no podrás creer lo que yo hice después de que papá me dijera eso tres veces. Pues, si quieres saber y también reirte mucho, puedes leer el primer libro de esta serie con ese título, ¡Tadeo, mantén el ojo en la pelota!
Mamá y papá me enseñaron sobre los MODISMOS . A veces, los MODISMOS pueden ser muy extraños, pero en otras veces pueden ser super cómicos y fascinantes. ¿Sabes que son los MODISMOS? Si no, lo sabrás en todos los libros sobre mi, Tadeo. Y espero que disfrutes esta próxima historia aquí sobre lo divertido que fue en los Caballos Voladores.

And Now Let’s Begin the Second Story

About Me,

Thaddeus, Hold Your Horses!

¡Tadeo, Controla Tus Caballos!

“Rise and Shine, Thaddeus!” Thad is relaxing in bed one Saturday morning. He hears his older sister Joy as she calls him to wake up. Joy attends Brown University in Rhode island, but she is home now on her spring break. Thaddeus is enjoying the fact that he does not need to get up early to go to school. He likes school very much, but he also loves to sleep late on weekends and then daydream a bit before he gets out of bed. On this day he is thinking about his favorite superhero Robin, one part of the Dynamic Duo known as Batman and Robin. Batman calls Robin, The Boy Wonder.

“Levántate y Brilla,Tadeo!” Tad está relajando en su cama, un sábado por la mañana. Él escucha como su hermana mayor le llama para despertarlo. Joy asiste a Brown University in Rhode Island, pero ahora ella está de vacaciones. Tadeo está disfrutando el hecho que él no necesita levantarse temprano para ir a la escuela. A él, le gusta muchísimo la escuela. Pero también, a él le gusta dormir tarde en los fines de semana y después soñar despierto un poco antes de salir de la cama. En este día Tad está pensando en su superhéroe favorito, Robin, una parte del Dúo Dinámico conocido como Batman y Robin. Batman llama a Robin, El C hico Maravilla.
