I really enjoyed this book. I love this series and the author because the stories are so uplifting and full of characters that help show children how working together can be fun and rewarding for everyone. This story of Cray and Fay’s adventure as they travel together to warmer climate was inspiring. They connected and helped so many individuals on their journey. It shows that helping each other is a great way to connect and make friends. I really recommend this series and author to parents with children who love to read.

When it’s time for Fay to travel to warmer waters, she wants to have a parade of animals as she goes. Along her journey, she comes across some new friends who could use some help. As she travels and makes new friends, her parade begins to form. The focus on this book is kindness and will open up dialogue to have the important conversations with young readers.
This is a great series and I recommend this for your public, school, or personal library!

This might just be my favorite book so far by this author. Great illustrations, great rhyming storyline,and as always a great lesson within. This time, about kindness. There’s also questions at the end that help your child openly chat about the story/lesson. The characters go around helping their friends with various things and learning how fulfilling it is to help others

This is another fantastic addition to the Cray’s Adventure series. In this book, Fay the Turtle has to make her way to warmer waters for the winter and along the way spreads kindness by helping out her fellow creatures. I love the sing-songy nature that Rhymes writes in. It gives the story such a nice flow and rhythm to read out loud in that children love. The lessons that kids will get from this book (and all of the others) are lifelong. The illustrations are fabulous, brilliant, and so vibrant that they will capture the attention of children and adults alike. I’m also a huge fan of the discussion points at the end of the books. This is a great opportunity for teachers and parents to look for comprehension and understanding from their littles. I love this series and can’t wait for the next one!
