About the authors
Stella Maris Mongodi began her earthly journey in Italy, where she pursued a degree in Ancient theatre, while exploring a passion for art and illustration under the expert tutelage of such masters as Alessandra Cimatoribus, Anna Castagnoli, Carll Cneut and Stefano Moroni. She dabbled with oils, experimented with acrylics, and wondered at watercolors, before settling on digital illustrations, steeped in “traditional media flavor”, and sporting a whimsically dreamy, feathery, playful feel, befitting her fairy spirit.
Award-winning author Patricia Allieri is an elementary school educator. Her book characters Puppy-Cat and Aqua Paws have been recipients of the Mom’s Choice Award, the Feathered Quill Book Award, and the Purple Dragonfly Book Award; Aqua Paws appeared on Dawn’s Corner and iRead Book Tours.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024I 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!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024I 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2024Cute 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024Love this book!!! Full of adventure!, Wonderful message and beautifully illustrated. Love how there are ocean preserve tips and a fun activity at the end. Children are bound to love everything about this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2023Follow this cute crab fearing kitty and their friend turtle as they go for a dive to see the sea flowers and to pick up treasures they might find. Aqua Paws ends up cleaning the ocean and making a new friend.
This book is beautifully illustrated and has a great message about friendship and keeping our oceans clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, lovely and informative
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take your litter home
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.
Miss Ruby Heart loved this story and gave it 🐾🐾🐶 4 Paws and a lick = 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
