So cute!
5 out of 5 stars
So cute!
Aqua Paws is such a cute and well written, well taught lesson of a story! Aqua Paws has the most adorable illustrations to keep little ones entertained and drawn to the story. They will love the bright colors and cute characters, as well as try to even flip backwards or ahead to see the illustrations ahead of time or over again! I read this one to two of my nephews, both under the age of five. Both of them loved it, and one of them especially loved the appearance of the crab 🦀 included on nearly every open page (or two pages if the artwork used both pages). It kind of grew into a game where I’d ask him or he’d just eventually catch on and point out, “THE CRAB!” This led to the little one calling this book “The Crab,” but in his defense, he’s still a baby. I was impressed he was following along as well as he did! The story, besides being cute and entertaining, teaches children the dangers of littering and how it can become scary, dangerous, and harmful to animals-especially our water life creatures! And besides the helping the environment lesson, it also teaches about overcoming fears and/or prejudices we may have against others. In this case, it was a kitten being scared of crabs, only to find itself saved by the crab! Overall, a cute story about friendship, unlikely companions, and helping the environment. I rated this one: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/ 5 Stars. My nephews thoughts: The oldest- I liked that story, but I love the crab! (His favorite part of the book). The youngest- “The Crab!” (When asked which book, out of a couple I had, was his favorite).

    I love the delicate and colorful illustrations. They are just captivating! The story was so sweet and there were so many layers to it! It brings up fears that kids might have and over come them, it brings up not judging a person by its appearance, AND it takes about preserving the ocean and ways you can help! A very well thought out and fun book to read! Can’t wait to introduce it to my nieces and nephews!

    I enjoyed the illustrations as well as the creativity of the story. Aqua Paws is about a cat afraid of crabs who wishes to explore the ocean with his sea turtle friend. Along the way there are lessons about working together as well as the importance of doing one's part to help keep the ocean clean. I think this is an age appropriate children's book that helps share feelings, facing fears and accountability.

    Cute short story about a cat and his friend, the sea turtle. They loved to explore and pick up litter to make the water cleaner. However, on one adventure Aqua Paws got stuck under water in the litter and was almost out of air. Purple Beak was nowhere to be seen, and Aqua Paws' greatest fear was coming straight towards him. You have to see his biggest fear and what happened by reading the story.

    Maybe we can be more like Aqua Paws and Purple Beak. We can collect garbage in AND out of the water! We also need to remember to take the trash with us when we go some where: the pool, beach, lake, etc. as well as when we go camping, hiking, picnicking, or on a special trip such as the movies. When I was younger (a LONG time ago), we were taught that when we finished eating all the popcorn, we should set the big empty bucket on the floor beside the leg of the seat in front of us. Today we need to remember to take it WITH us and THROW IT AWAY.

    Use this story to make everyone excited about what can be done to help keep our part of the world beautiful. Children often remind adults to take the trash with us and to help save the parks, beaches, and all the other places we visit. Would you want your friends to leave their trash in your floor? Then why would you believe others want you leaving your trash in their favorite places? They don't!! So take it with you when you go!

    Aqua Paws is terrified of crabs, but he wants to help Purple Beak clean the ocean. When Aqua Paws, the kitty gets inside water, the water is fabulous, the fish there are beautiful and Aqua Paws forgets his fears. 

    Then comes trouble.

    Lovely illustrations and cute story of friendship with the message of caring for the oceans. Enjoyable both for adults and kids.

    WOW a cat who likes water A~MAZ~ING! What a wonderful story about the little kitty - Aqua Paws. Plus his friend Purple Beak the turtle.

    These unusual friends are off on an adventure beneath the waves. Aqua Paws is a bit wary of crabs but when a giant crab approaches, whilst the little kitty is tangled in plastic on the ocean bed how will things turn out?

    Purchase your own copy and see for yourself.
