That’s Not Hay in My Hair: Big Apple to Big Adventures by Juliette Turner is a children’s book. Juliette lives in a cramped apartment in New York with her mum and her pets. It’s the first day of the summer holidays and she is about to make a move that will change her life forever. They are moving to Texas, to a 300-acre ranch, a long way from the cramped apartment and busy streets she lives in now. The ranch is home to a cat, dogs, cattle, and horses and it is up to Juliette and her mum to care for them. Juliette has never been so excited, despite the dangers that await her. Before long she is rescuing animals, running from snakes, caring for horses, and having more adventures than she ever dreamed possible. Prepare for a bellyful of laughs and lots of lessons as you follow Juliette on her big adventure to her new life.

That’s Not Hay in My Hair: Big Apple to Big Adventures by Juliette Turner is an amusing book for children. It is written well for its audience in plain language that is easy to follow and understand. The story line was something a little bit different, and I thought the characters were quite well developed. It is a fun story, but contains a few life lessons that many children will find useful, especially when Juliette has to deal with all sorts of dangers and dramas. I think that children of all ages will love the animal side of the story – who doesn’t like animals! And I also think that this is the type of book that will be enjoyed by many, not just those who can read it themselves but by those who find themselves reading it out aloud to their children. Good book, I enjoyed the read.
