Rhonda, along time sufferer of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, tells of some of the horrors of these deceases and how they tie the one they torment in chains and close out the light of peace. The key that opened the chains and set her free, letting in the light is so simple and so ignored by most people. I recommend this book to anyone who ever had any acquaintance with any of these debilitating enemies - and anyone who never experienced them and bragged about it.

Ted and Raymond are getting ready for their great African adventure. They pack all the things they will need for their trip, travel on an airplane, and land in a strange new country. They learn about the dress, culture, food, and animals of Africa. And so will your child. This book might also ease the fears of young children who are about to travel for the first time.

There are some problems with mixing present and past tense, but this doesn't detract from the narrative. This book has been delightfully illustrated by the author's husband, Chester McDaniel. I especially loved the drawings of the African animals that Ted and Raymond saw on their safari. All in all, "African Safari with Ted and Raymond" is a fun and educational book for children of all ages.

Another fun adventure story in the vein of the Ted and Raymond series, also by Rhonda Patton. This time we have three frog friends: Harold, the smart one; Freddie, the talented one; and Milo who isn't sure what he's good at. We follow the three friends on their way to a picnic at a tree house on an island. Along the way, they find adventures both together and on their own.The three frogs clearly have different personalities and strengths, but they all get on well together. This is a good lesson to teach children. Apart from a few errors in combining present and past tense, the book is well-written and sure to hold the interest of both little ones and their parents! Once again, Chester McDaniel's illustrations are delightful. This time they appear to be computer-generated, not hand drawn as in previous collaborations with his wife, Rhonda Patton. I was disappointed that Milo didn't find something he was good at, but perhaps we might see more of these three frogs in future books. I look forward to Milo's development as a character.

Ted and Raymond's Sea Adventure by Rhonda Patton
I wanted to read this book to my grandson because he is not close by on the west coast to the sea life I am on the east coast.
Love introducing him to new things that I take for granted in my everyday life.
Illustrated colorful children's book where Ted and Raymond set out on a sea adventure.
They go to a center where they are given snorkels and underwater cameras. Ted and Raymond are not quite human but they have human qualities also.
The guide takes them out to a coral reef after they all get life jackets on-safety first.
Love the detailed descriptions giving color and shape and name of the fish they do find.
My favorite is the page showing a lot of different sea shells.
On land they give some children making a sand castle some shells to help decorate it.
What a great adventure! There website is http://www.thecroak500.com/
Wish coloring was a bit more realistic, it's rather bland..
