Hay Goes Home is part of The Adventures of Cray and another wonderful story with our friends Cray Crab and Fox Hay. My great nieces, great nephew and I were excited with another story of adventure, learning, friendship and beautiful colorful illustrations to see where Cray and Hay are off to next.
When Cray Crab was invited to go along with Fox Hay to a birthday party, this was the start of an adventure. Where this adventure leads is to seeing new animals and beautiful scenery but also lessons on helping others when needed and work as a team.
This is another wonderful story and I love the message behind each book in this series. Young and old alike can enjoy the Adventures of Cray and his friends.
