Splish! Splash! MEOW! Most cats hate water, but not Aqua Paws. He loves it! There’s just one problem: he’s terrified of crabs!
Then Aqua Paws finds himself in a sticky situation, and the only one around to help is a crab. Can Aqua Paws push his feelings aside before it’s too late? Full of whimsical sea creatures beautifully illustrated by Stella Maris, Aqua Paws also warns of the dangers of ocean pollution. A story that your child will fall in love with, that helps teach a valuable lesson at the same time.
My Review:
Artfully written and illustrated, Aqua Paws is a cute and charming book that follows an ocean-loving kitty's underwater adventure. Aqua Paws loves anything in and about water except for crabs, for fear of getting pinched by their scary claws. One day, while treasure hunting and trash collecting under the sea, he gets stuck in a piece of plastic. He desperately needs help, but the only one in sight is the giant crab he's been trying so hard to stay away from. Will he manage to return to the shore safely?
Through adorable characters and a captivating story, the book shows all the fun things to do in the ocean, the breathtaking beauty of the underwater world, and the threat pollution poses to the survival of sea creatures. It sparks young readers' curiosity about nature and deepens their love for it. Meanwhile, it raises awareness of environmental issues among the younger generation, encouraging them to help clean up the ocean and stop littering. The book's back matter provides actionable advice for ocean preservation as well as instructions for creating a crab with toilet paper roll and old cardboard. The colorful and stunning illustrations make the book all the more enjoyable and engaging. It's extra fun to look for the mini crabs hidden throughout the book!
Apparently, Aqua Paws is not the only one who is afraid of crabs. His experience, however, suggests that some of our worst fears may be unfounded and unnecessary. Someone with a tough look may turn out to have a really kind heart. We should be careful not to base our judgement solely on appearance.
Aqua Paws is a pleasure to read at all times and is particularly fit for Earth Day. Grab a copy for your little animal and ocean lover today!
