Before Jacques Cousteau became an internationally known oceanographer and champion of the seas, he was a curious little boy. In this lovely biography, poetic text and pretty paintings, combine to create a portrait of Jacques Cousteau's life. Jacques was a boy who was always fascinated with the water. Once he read about a man who survived underwater by breathing through a tube, but when he tried it, the experiment was a flop. He was always experimenting with one thing or another and his curiosity was insatiable. Another thing that held great fascination for him was movies and how they were made. He saved up his money and bought a camera. Throughout Jacques's life he was a naval officer, explorer, conservationist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author and researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water. This book is beautifully illustrated and written. It's a great children's book to show us the beauty of life and how it is often forgotten in our busy lives.
