Jacques Cousteau was the world’s ambassador of the oceans. His popular TV series brought whales, otters, and dolphins right into people’s living rooms. Now, in this exciting picturebook biography, Dan Yaccarino introduces young readers to the man behind the snorkel.
From the first moment he got a glimpse of what lived under the ocean’s waves, Cousteau was hooked. And so he set sail aboard the Calypso to see the sea. He and his team of scientists invented diving equipment and waterproof cameras. They made films and televisions shows and wrote books so they could share what they learned. The oceans were a vast unexplored world, and Cousteau became our guide. And when he saw that pollution was taking its toll on the seas, Cousteau became our guide in how to protect the oceans as well.
I thought this book was interesting because I like biographies. I also am interested in scuba diving, so it was neat to learn about Jacques Cousteau's passion for the ocean. I really like how quotes from Cousteau were included in the book. ***

ReplyDeleteI love biographies,so it was super easy to like this book. This is the book you need to read if you have to do a book report. It is super easy to read, but still tells a lot about J. Cousteau.
I am probably going to vote for this awesome book!!!

ReplyDeleteI think the book was great because it told about a young man who wanted to accomplish his dreams. Everyone should have a chance to do that but not many people do. I love the diving suit he invented that would allow people to go underwater longer instead of wearing those other bulky suits.

ReplyDeletei really liked this book the illustrations were really good even though i dont like non fiction i like this book
**This book is good to learn a little about Jacques Cousteau. The scuba diver who took amazing pictures underwater. The illustrations were fabulous.To me, the lesson in this book is whenever you fall you should get right back up. Don't give up keep trying no matter what. It will pay off. This is also a good biograhy book.
