Synopsis

Raymond and Sheila’s peaceful day at the beach turns into a wild goose chase involving a flying teddy bear in distress, a disappearing ice cream truck, and a couple of sly boa constrictors. Is there such a thing as too much adventure? All they were trying to do was keep an eye on their “valuables” without losing sight of what’s really important!

Are We Lost? is an adventure sure to appeal to every 4–8 yr old who has ever felt “old enough” to do something daring on their own. At the heart of this playfully illustrated tale of surprises and challenges is the unshakable love of a big sister for her little brother and the love of a shy little boy for his teddy bear.

Like all books in the Raymond and Sheila series, this book is for parents and kids to enjoy together. It includes a unique guide for parents to help their kids increase their language skills and social and emotional learning. Are We Lost? is now available on Kindle and in Spanish (¿Estamos Perdidos?).

Reviews

• “Fun and witty—made me recall times when I was alone with my big sister and we just had to figure it out!”
  —WillTerry.com, children’s book illustrator
• “Children, especially siblings, will readily identify with Raymond and Sheila, two adorable alligators. In Are We Lost?, the sibling bond between them is stronger than ever, as they both look for each other on a crowded beach. The characters express strong feelings that range from anxiety to relief during this satisfying adventure. Raymond and Sheila stories are cathartic in a way that can help children explore a range of feelings and emotions. I highly recommend this series for children ages 3-8.”
  —Carisa Kluver, MSW, DigitalMediaDiet.com
