    "Pilot Ray: The Terrible Toad's Treasure" is a great continuation of the Pilot Ray series! The story is written in rhyme and is fun to read. It is a great book to teach kids to always be kind to everyone because your kindness could come back and help you one day!
    I would recommend this book to kids around ages 4-7 and I would also recommend reading this book after reading the first two books in the series to understand the backstory between Ray and the crow.

    This series never disappoints! My son’s favorite part of the story was when the terrible toad gets wrapped as a cinnamon bun!! Lol. Pilot Ray always has the best plots and we love all of the new characters! The ending was brilliant. Full of mystery and new friendships. 5 star read! We hope there are at least a dozen more books produced in this series!

    I received this book series as a prize giveaway. Reading the third book did not disappoint. Ray is determined to get his lost shell back after terrible Toad finds it. Toad however is not having any of it and wants to keep the shell for his own benefits. Read and find out who comes to Ray's rescue and discover the messages of help, courage, and friendship along the way. This book has a fabulous rhyming flow and the engaging, fun illustrations, make it a must-read.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2023
    Pilot Ray: The Terrible Toad's Treasure is the third book in the Pilot Ray series! This story is colorful, adventurous, daring, engaging, creative, adorable, rhyming, and fun! In Pilot Ray's third adventure he goes on a dangerous journey to reclaim his lost shell. Word has spread that a greedy toad who collects various items has found Ray's shell. Instead of giving the shell back the Toad refuses in hopes that she will become famous one day. In fact what would make her more famous than eating Ray the snail as a snack?! Ray is in big trouble in this captivating adventure. He can't complete the mission on his own. Will a true friend be there to help him? This book is all about the power of friendship! If you have read the other books in the series first seeing which friend ends up saving the day makes it sweeter!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Super trilogy!

    I loved the book that completes this funny "trilogy". Friendship and supporting each other will always prevail among hate and selfishness. A message that human beings we should all take home these days. I am sure kids will love this new release of this fantastic coupling Broecker-Liuta. As a long-running fan of Jana's books (check them out!) I keep on discovering (and recognising) key elements on her books. Well done, again!

    I was already familiar with Ray’s first two adventures and had high expectations for the 3rd book in the series. I was thrilled to find that “Pilot Ray – The Terrible Toad’s Treasure” not only met, but exceeded those expectations.

    How Ray overcomes his fears and how his family and friends stick by him is both, exciting and heart-warming. The rhyme and meter are top-notch, and the story arch and lessons taught are truly impactful.

    All pilot ray books are favourites in our home, but this is the best. We love how the story unfolds, the super colourful illustrations and in particular the new character, the toad.
