The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau
by Dan Yaccarino
2010 Texas Bluebonnet List^SM

"'What is a scientist after all?
It is a curious man looking through a keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on." Jacques Cousteau

Who was this man
whose love for the ocean
inspired him to dive
deeper and deeper
to learn more and more?

What did he invent
to enable us to understand
life in the ocean
and dangers that threaten
that life there?

In a new picture book, The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau by Dan Yaccarino introduces you to the basic loves of oceanographer, film producer, and researcher, Jacques Cousteau.

From the Kids' Wings Study Guide:
A Readers Theater Script
Frenchman,
Dreamer,
Lover of oceans,
Tinkerer,
Sickly boy,
Watching waves motions.
Becoming a swimmer,
Getting stronger and stronger,
Staying in water
Longer and longer.
But short little dives
Never satisfied him.
To breathe under water
Was his goal as he’d swim.
He rejoiced with the goggles,
he got from a friend!
They let him see clearly
As he would descend.
