I have really enjoyed this series so far. Each story is full of beautiful illustrations and wonderful prose. In this story we learn that it is ok to be afraid and admit you are afraid. I would highly recommend all of the books in this series for all ages and abilities to either read together or alone.
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.

Hay the Fox is headed home for her mother’s birthday party, and she is taking Cray the crab with her. Along the way, Hay and Cray learn how to be braver and how to ask for help. From being afraid of crossing rapidly moving water, to being afraid of an unexpected animal in a cave, the friends must learn how to manage and find their way safely home. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is short with a rhyming cadence that makes it quick and easy to share with young children. I would recommend this book for any child who may be struggling with feeling scared or unsure. This is a great book for young kids, preschool age or older.

We were so excited to pick up another book by this author! I haven’t found anything I disliked about his books yet because he has such a way with words. Rhyming is great for kids, but I find myself bouncing along with the rhythm as well. Somehow, he created something that is part rhythmic fun and part valuable life lesson. The list of courage builders at the end was something I hadn’t seen before and made my kids add more ideas to their own courage lists! We all experience these big feelings like fear, panic, relief, and bravery, so to learn about it in a children’s book was fascinating! It should absolutely be focused on more with earlier development. The illustrations were icing on top of a delicious cake as well. I highly recommend sharing this with kiddos in your life whether that’s in your family or in your classroom!

Another superb story from this series. Cray goes on an adventure that would be unknown to him if he had not befriended Hay. Leaving the beach he sets off for the woods. This one covers how one can be brave and asking for help as both animals need to learn to utilize that in here. There are great tips for building courage in the back of the book.
As always I want to mention the illustration in here. Between the wonderful story and the brilliant illustration this is a winner for kids and adults! I look forward to more adventures with Cray.

I will definitely be trying it out. I truly look forward to reading more stories by this author 🥰 if you haven’t read any books yet I 10/10 recommend 🥰

Hay Goes Home may be my favorite adventure of Cray yet. I loved the illustrations and the change in environment with woodland friends! As always, the book read smoothly and my seven year old loved reading it to me. I love that there is a lesson woven within the pages, in this case, don’t be afraid to ask for help! Another great read in a wonderful children’s series.

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!!

I really enjoy these stories about Cray and his friends. This story about Cray’s friend Hay and the journey both of them took to attend Hay’s mother’s birthday party. The journey involved many adventures that that required Hay and Cray to work with other individuals they met on the way to solve the issues. I enjoy reading this series about Cray and her many friends. Each story has an uplifting message that I feel many children need to hear.

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.

I have fallen in love with Cray and his group of friends. My son is currently obsessed with foxes so we couldn’t wait to read about Hay. The story is easy for little ones to follow along and for young ones to read. It’s a great book to read if you’re wanting to go over rhyming words with kids. I enjoyed the illustrations and I’m sure kids will as well. I also liked the 8 tips to build courage by Misty Black in the end. Going over these plus the bravery from the book will also help kids wanting to encourage their friends or family.

Traveling with his friend Cray, Hay is headed to a birthday party.They saw so many things on their travels. But most importantly they problem solved and faced their fears together. Another lesson learned is how to ask for help when something is hard.The illustrations are beautiful and this is a great read aloud for any young kiddo.

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!

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.

Another really sweet story form this lovely series. My 5 year old absolutely loves the rhyming element to the books from this series and he definitely loved Cray and all his friends! I love that each story has a different meaning behind it – this one was all about helping people who are a little scared and that its ok to admit when you are afraid and need a little bit of help and encouragement from your friends.
The illustrations that accompany this story are so beautiful and really do complement the story well.
I can’t wait for more adventures from Cray and his friends!

What a beautiful tale of friendship, courage, and bravery!!!
Cray the Crab and Hay the Fox are off on a journey to celebrate Hay’s mother’s birthday. In addition to the exciting journey, they encounter some roadblocks and obstacles. They rely on each other, but they also meet some new friends who can help them reach their final destination.
Hay Goes Home is a book for all ages! It teaches children how to be brave, the importance of friendship, asking for help, and building courage, but it also reminds adults of those life lessons that we sometimes forget!
The illustrations are stunning, and I love the rhyming in the book. One of my favorite features was the tips at the end to build courage. Again, this is a book that can be enjoyed by all ages!!!!

This has got to be my favorite book in the series so far, always such beautiful illustrations. Paired with such important lessons for growing minds to learn early. Courage and bravery have many different meanings, and, in this book, they are linked with asking for help and getting to know someone before judging them. With both of my younger sisters currently pregnant with their first babies I plan to get both of their bundles this entire series for future use.
