VBT# Aqua Paws - Patricia Allieri and Illustrated by Stella Maris
VBT# Review - Aqua Paws - Patricia Allieri and Stella Maris - April 2023
Aqua Paws was such a cute
little picture book and beautifully illustrated by Stella Maris. I enjoyed this
book as we meet our Kitten who wants to swim but he's scared, it's not the
water that scares him but what is beneath the surface, especially crabs. As
someone who isn't a confident swimmer, I related to this cat as I would
probably swim more in the ocean but what scares me is not knowing what's
beneath the surface and I have a fear of crabs and jellyfish as I don't want to
be snipped or stung while swimming. I dream of snorkeling but being around all
those sea creatures while I am swimming at the same time freaks me out. After
reading this book, I have decided I need to be brave like the cat in this book
as if he can do it, I suppose I could too. The other thing I loved about Aqua
Paws is that recently I was chatting to the author and learned that she had
written this book and based the cat on her kitty Jack. I always find books like
this a bit more special when based on true stories as they are easier to relate
to and can use them in school visits and family time as learning opportunities.
Aqua Paws is the perfect water safety read for children aged 3-6 years old and
one all families and cat lovers should give a read.
