Another cute story about Cray the crab and his adventures. This time him and his friends help clean up the beach and the ocean. This is a good way to teach children to clean up after themselves to protect our environment. The illustrations are beautiful.

This was a very cute book about learning to be nice. Cray’s friends don’t like it when he pinches and pushes them. The illustrations are very good. My 5 year old granddaughter really enjoyed this book. She said it’s not nice to pinch.

A beautiful story that will help kids to understand both the consequences of bullying and the importance of forgiveness and friendship. The rhythm of the story flows well and keeps it simple for younger kids whilst also getting the point across. Would be great to read with an early childhood class.

A delightful children’s book with lessons to be learned. Friendships are built on kindness and respect. This can sometimes be a hard lesson to learn. But this story is a great tool for helping our little ones. Pushing and pinching can hurt, but teaching our children what feels better will be found in this charming series. This author impressed me with this story. I love well written children’s books. This has it all. Including opening a conversation with our children. This is a must have for your childrens bookshelves.

This was a great read for my little and I. I love that it rhymed (keeps the kiddo interested) and it had a great teachable lesson, to always be kind or “karma” finds a way to you. All of Cray’s friends were tired of being pinched, but when Cray loses his “pinching” claw, they still showed him kindness and true friendship. The characters are cute and illustrations are great. Will definitely read more from this story line and author.

I read A New Day for Cray with my seven year old daughter and she absolutely loved it. I thought that Cray was adorable and loved the bright illustrations. I am a fan of reading books that rhyme as they often roll right off the tongue. A New Day for Cray was a short, fun way to teach a lesson about kindness.

This is a cute story filled with colourful illustrations that will capture a child’s attention. Cray the crab is a bully who punches all of his friends. He thinks it is funny but they do not. They don’t like it at all. What happens when Cray loses his pincher? This is a great story to teach young children about bullying in a way that they will understand. It is a fun and easy read.

Well once again another great book from this author for kids. I cannot stress how I wish my kids were younger. This author has a very unique way of writing stories that engage kids and teach them valuable lessons. The characters are brought to life and are very relatable to kids. I like how the author is able to engage the reader and weave the lessons within the story. This is such a great way for kids to be able to learn to read and also gather information that is needed. I highly recommend this series to parents with young kids.

This is a cute children’s book that teaches them about beach clean-up. Many families were visiting the beach one day and after lunch, the trash had piled very high until a wind gust swirls the trash all over the beach. Cray the crab tried to tell the humans, but no one could hear him. As he walked along the beach, he met some other animal friends who came up with a plan the clean the beach. The human family started to help too and a truck came to pick up the big pile of trash they collected. The book will show children how important beach clean-up is to all the animals living near the ocean.

This is such a cute story about friendship. I loved the illustrations and the fact they weren’t overstimulating. They reminded me of the tv show Puffin Rock and Trash Truck. The story has a solid lesson. It’s not too complicated for toddlers which I appreciate!

Cray is a crab living on the beach and under the water. He has many friends, whom he likes to play with but whom he also likes to pinch with his pinchers. His friends do not appreciate his way of playing, and wish that he would stop. Some have expressed their dislike of his pinching, while others try to get away from him before he can pinch them. That all changes one day, when Cray loses his pincher, and his friends come together to help him and support him. This is a great book for teaching young kids about not hurting others and how it affects those who they are harming. The illustrations are beautiful and make me wish I were at the beach, pinching crabs or not!

Having only recently read the first book in this series, it was lovely to get back to the characters. They are so entertaining to read about and my kids really seem to engage with them. I loved the premise of this story to; helping friends, looking out for others. It is exactly the message we are trying to teach our kids right now and this was the perfect way reinforce what we were saying.
My daughter seem to connect with this story even more. Environmental concerns and impacts are something she has been learning about recently at school and this book just really helped to put it into context for her in a fun and entertaining way. This is a great story that is worth reading.

Beautiful artwork and beautiful story and lesson to be learned. I love seeing all the friends coming together to clean up the beach and the waters. It was heart breaking to see the turtle, Fay with the pop can plastic around. This is a wonderful book for parents to teach their children about not leaving their trash everywhere, when there are plenty of trash cans accessible, and keeping the world we live in clean not just for ourselves.

A New Day for Cray (The Adventures of Cray Series) by G Pa Rhymes. This was the sweetest, funniest book for your favorite young person. My 5 year old nephew loved it. Its the story of Cray a crab who likes to go around and pinch his friends. His friends names are Hay, Ray and Fay. Because Cray always pinches them his friends tend to move away when he comes near. Cray was confused at first but when he realizes his friends didn’t like being pinched he learned a lesson. He also learned his friends were true friends because when he lost a claw they told him he was perfect just the way he was. Those are true friends. Such fun pictures, raps and story line. Perfect for the youngster in your life. Great story for young preschoolers starting out in school as well. This author will be added to my nephews favorites!

This was a super cute, well illustrated, easy to understand way to start early education for children about how to take care of the earth. We enjoyed reading this book and talking about all the questions and subjects that it brought up. It kind of reminded me of a tv show my kids used to watch called Wonder Pets where the animals save the day.

This is the second of Cray’s adventures that I have read to my kids and they love it. We were so glad to see Cray using his pinching claw for good in this story!
This story teaches a lesson to children about being environmentally conscious in an easy and fun way. I also liked the last page with tips to do so. We look forward to more adventures with Cray.

The characters are relatable for kids and the illustrations really add to the book. This is a good way for kids to learn how to act within a friendship and learn boundaries and the correct manner in which to act. I really would recommend this book for young kids. Look forward to reading more from this author.

Once more love Erica’s beautiful illustrations. G Pa’s rhymes are always a delight when teaching young minds, the importance of picking up our trash. Being a litterbug doesn’t only harm our planet but the animals. Love how the author shows a real-world example of sea creatures being affected in harmful ways by the lack of care when people litter. Remember littering doesn’t just hurt the planet, it hurts all living beings and creatures on it. My oh my what will Cray face next on his adventures in the bay.

This is a very cute story about a crab who is very playful, bullies and pinches his friends. The story conveys a strong message to the kids not to bully others and it is the kindness which is the basic foundation of friendship. The illustrations are very beautiful and characters are adorable. I loved all the characters, the crab, Gull, tortoise, fox. I overall enjoyed the book.

This was such a cute read for young children about how being nice to people means that you end up with far more friends around you and to make you feel happy. Cray was a little crab who liked to pinch his friends who often moved away when they saw him coming. Cray had to learn his lesson the hard way. I like how this story provides talking points for children about how they behave and what is nice and not so nice. The story had a lovely rhyme to it which is bound to capture children’s interest alongside some beautiful and colourful illustrations.
A really lovely story that my 4 year old especially enjoyed!

After everyone enjoying the beach on a beautiful day and heading home, Crab Cray, Turtle Fay, Gull Ray and Fox hay are disappointed to see that the barrels were full of trash…until wind blew up and the garbage ended up back on the beach and out in the ocean. Shouldn’t we all be able to enjoy the beach?
Looking for a plan, we meet Queen Mer May who offers advice and help to get the beach clean and protect the environment!
Another book of favorite characters, beautiful illustrations, fun rhymes, and a great message.

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED. This was a new author for me and love the rhyming makes things so much easier for young kids to follow along with and helps in their learning journey of becoming strong independent readers. While I understand the underlying meaning of its better to be friendly than to be a bully the story made it slightly confusing. It took Cray, losing a limb essentially to be nice and stop bullying. He didn’t apologize or anything, just all the other characters came to comfort and support him after to start a new beginning. Now the second meaning that after something bad something good is coming your way I love this, and it is so easy society today, it’s often hard to see an upside or positives out of something bad. I look forward to seeing what adventure little Cray will get into next.

This is another really cute installment in Cray’s series. This one focuses on how to be respectful to our wildlife and beaches when we visit and not to litter. I love the sing-songy rhythm of the book as well as the colorful illustrations. Cray helps out his friends when they are in need and they in turn help out the beach when the humans don’t do what they are supposed to. This is a great story to read to your kiddos to teach them about respecting nature and wildlife and making sure to pick up after yourself.

Cray Saves the Day is the second book in The Adventures of Cray series by G Pa Rhymes. This is another really cute story that features Cray the crab and his friends- Hay the fox, Fay the turtle, Ray the seagull, with a special appearance by Queen Mer May (the mermaid). This adventure follows their quest to clean up the beach.
The story is accompanied by lots of lovely, bright, colourful, interesting, and captivating illustrations — which help to bring the whole story to life.
It is a really cute tale – told in a rhyming/rapping verse that adds an extra element of interest to the whole story. It also has some valuable messages woven into the story, environmental messages, teamwork, friendship, kindness, and a little whimsey.
Easy to read. Educational. Fun. Interesting. Beach-side setting. Animal friends. Wonderful illustrations. Cute story. Well worth the read.
The series contains (so far)…
-A New Day for Cray (Book #1)
-Cray Saves the Day (Book #2)
-Beach Ball Blunder (Book #3)
-Hay Goes Home (Book #4)
Looking forward to more adventures with Cray.
Happy Reading…

A New Day for Cray ( The Adventures of Cray Series) is a children’s book that children of any age will enjoy reading. I love the illustrations and they make the story come to life. My five year old son loved this book and kept saying “no cray you have to be nice and no pinching .” It’s a story about cray the crab and the hard lesson he learns about friendships. Cray goes around pinching and pushing all his friends, they don’t like it. Can cray learn that its not nice to be pushy and not kind to others? I highly recommend reading this book. My son and I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Cray Saves the Day is another fun, bright and colourful picture book.
As with the first book it is full of unique and colourful characters with a rhyming narrative. It is a good story with a message that teaches children the importance of caring for the environment.
The story is fun and engaging as Cray and his friends take it upon themselves to set an example of what cleaning up after yourself should be and protecting the environment wherever you are.
Share this book with children of any ages and teach them a valuable lesson in keeping the creatures of the sea and beaches clear of anything that could do them harm.
