Hay Goes Home (The Adventures of Cray Series) by G Pa Rhymes – Review by Nicole Thompson

Let me tell you, “Hay Goes Home” by G Pa Rhymes is an absolute gem of a children’s book. I loved the way it emphasizes friendship and overcoming those little hiccups we all face in life. Cray the Crab and Hay the Fox make an adorable pair, and their journey to Hay’s mother’s birthday party is a blast to follow.

What really struck me about this book is the way G Pa Rhymes uses playful rhymes. They flow perfectly, making the story a treat to read aloud. Plus, Erica Leigh’s illustrations are super charming and really bring Cray, Hay, and the world they travel through to life.

The friendship between Cray and Hay is so heartwarming. They support and encourage each other the entire way, making it a great example for kids. And as they face their challenges, you really see how important it is to persevere and know when to ask for a helping hand.

Honestly, “Hay Goes Home” is the kind of book that stays with you. The story’s great, the illustrations are a joy, and the messages about friendship and overcoming obstacles are spot on. I’d definitely recommend this one for any child’s library.
