My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hay Goes Home by G Pa Rhymes is the fourth book in The Adventures of Cray series. In this book, Cray goes with his friend Fox Hay to her mother’s birthday party. Along the way, they run into situations that test their bravery. This is a great story that shows how friends will be there for you if you just ask and how to be brave in scary situations. The different scenes make it easy for kids to understand how to be brave even when they are afraid. It also shows how to advocate for themselves by asking for help and how to help those who ask. All great lessons for kids to learn early. The illustrations are beautiful as usual.

Hay Goes Home (The Adventures of Cray)Hay Goes Home by G Pa Rhymes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cray was so excited to be going to a birthday party!! It is Fox Hay’s mamma’s birthday high up in the mountains. It would be a long trip, but also an adventure! They saw animals of all kinds, plants high and low, and they even needed help along the way. It can be scary facing new things, but you can still be brave. Asking for help when needed can make adventures less stressful. This book was so cute!! If helps younger kids build courage through out different obstacles they may come across in life. Being scared and facing those fears. I think that this book is wonderful for kids, BUT it is also great for adults to read too. The tips in the back are so helpful and I encourage adults to read this one!!

Nessie and the Celtic Maze (Nessie, #3)Nessie and the Celtic Maze by Lois June Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun third book to the Nessie series. I think Craig and Linda’s parents by the end of this book are about tired of hearing the words “Nessie” and “monsters” and they may not take a vacation near water ever again. I really liked the magic of Craig and Linda going through the maze to help Princess Sheona, starting in Canada and ending up in Scotland, where they first met Nessie. It seems there is a new hero to help Nessie out in place of Craig and Linda, Angus. It was entertaining to read from the Canadian side of the maze with Craig and Linda and then switch to the Scottish side with Angus and his mother. I like how Angus’ mom encouraged him the whole time and helped him accept the task of being a courageous knight to save Princess Sheona.

This is Wickstrom’s third book in her Nessie’s Grotto series. My niece and nephew couldn’t wait to see what would happen on Craig and Linda’s summer adventures this year. They have enjoyed several of Wickstrom’s other books, including the first two in this series. They have really been drawn into each book in the series, looking forward to the next. The illustrations are well done and engaging. I would recommend this book to others.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read some of the other Nessie books and love Linda and Craig’s adventures. This one is a quick read as I finished it in one evening.

Linda and Craig love the chance to see Nessie when they go on vacation, however, their parents think it is too dangerous for them in the water looking for a monster. So this year, instead of taking them to Loch Ness on vacation, they decided to go to Canada.

They wanted their children to be safe with no chance of monsters. They didn’t know that Nessie needed Linda and Craig and would find a way to get them.

My grandchildren would enjoy this book

Another outstanding story by an outstanding author. Hay and Cray are the most unlikely pair. Yet their friendship and willingness to work together is a pleasure to read about. This is most definitely a must read to all children’s libraries. Hay is headed to his mother’s house for a party. Along the way they are met with many obstacles. As the two work together they find more friends to help guide them. This story also comes with rhyming time. It was just so fun to read, and the pictures are bright and colorful. They really catch the children’s eye and interest. My children enjoyed this story and asked for it again and again.

My family and I get so excited when we pick up another book from this author as they quickly became one of our favorites! Rhyming always makes the story more fun, and these are unlike other rhyming books you’ll find. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and really do add a little more depth as you read. Somehow this author takes what seems like a complicated life lesson and makes it not only simple, but also fun! Read with the young ones in your life as we learn about the fact that accidents will occur, and what will happen if you aren’t honest. We never hesitate to pick up books from this author, and if you pick this one up, you’ll definitely see why. I highly recommend sharing this with little ones in your family and in the classroom!

This is the super cute story of Cray and Hay as they go to visit Hay’s mother for her birthday party. I absolutely love the lessons that Rhymes teaches little readers throughout his books (and there are more than one) and I love that he does it through rhyme. As you are reading this book out loud to your littles, it becomes very sing-songy and just such a great time. And not only do we learn valuable life lessons through very catchy rhymes, the illustrations are absolutely astounding. The colors are deep and rich and just mesmerizing. I can’t get enough of Cray and his adventures with his friends. These are fantastic books to read with your littles!

A great adventure awaits when Craig and Linda get to explore the maze and free Princess Sheona. Of course, their parents aren’t happy about their previous adventures but feel like it’s safe to let them go diving since they are nowhere near Nessie.

This book is geared more towards emerging readers and is a chapter book. I love that this author writes across a span of age groups for kids. Her stories are very engaging and full of adventure. There are oftentimes scientific angles to the stories as well!

Hay Goes Home is another cute story from the Adventures of Cray series. It’s Hay’s mom’s birthday and he is bringing Cray home for her party. They meet a lot of other animals in the forest along the way. The illustrations are adorable. My 8 year old easily read it to me, but had some questions on the big words on the last page (affirmations, imperfection). The book is filled with positive messages, such as asking for help is okay, and encourage kids to be brave. These books are great for preschool and young elementary kiddos.

This story is probably my favorite, since the message is so important and one that every kiddo needs to learn how to handle- being honest with your friends and seeing how a lie can quickly get out of control.

I love when children’s books have a learning undertone to it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Nessie and the Celtic Maze” by Lois Wickstrom is an enchanting and adventurous tale that takes readers on a journey from Loch Ness in Scotland to Lake Memphrémagog in Quebec. The story follows siblings Craig and Linda as they find themselves embarking on a quest to help Princess Sheona, Nessie’s daughter, who is trapped in a crumbling stone maze.

The author portrays a vivid and imaginative world filled with mystery and magic, where the mythical creature Nessie is not the only fantastical being to encounter. The characters, including the frightened Angus and his giant sister, add depth and humor to the story, creating a rich tapestry of personalities that readers will easily connect with.

Wickstrom’s writing style is engaging and immersive, drawing readers into the story from the very beginning. The pacing is well-done, keeping the plot moving forward and building suspense as the siblings navigate through the maze to find Princess Sheona.
