child, and he loves playing tricks on his
brothers and sisters - especially the
ones who are younger than him. He's
also the family comedian, but often he's
the only one who thinks he's funny. He
doesn’t really mean to cause trouble,
but somehow trouble just seems to
follow him around. In "The Dancing
Haystacks", the seventh story in the
book, you'll find out what happens when
Thaddeus tries to trick his younger
brother and sister in a special contest
he organizes during the long, summery,
mosquitoey days of the Lappish hay-
making season. The story is a bit
scary, so don't read it just before
you go to bed!
Thaddeus is so tricky that we couldn't
even get a picture of him for this page,
though we tried. But here's a picture of
someone he meets during the story.
In fact he meets quite a few of them!
Watch out!
