Jacques Cousteau is the most famous and beloved name in the world of deep-sea exploration. Cousteau discovered his passion in 1938, when he first used a pair of goggles to dive off the coast of France. During his time as a French naval officer, he carried out many deep-sea experiments and improved upon early diving equipment. Soon, Cousteau began filming his underwater excursions and offering the world a glimpse below the surface. The documentary television series The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau made the man, his work, and his red cap famous throughout the world.

These books are absolutely the BEST! The "Who Was" series offers biographies on just about anyone. They are short reads, but contain accurate, reliable information and are easy for young readers.
This is a very good read for young, and old!
The biography is complete and interesting for young learners. I bought them for students who learn English as a second language and they are suitable for them.
Great series overall. Kids in my library respond well to all of the titles in this series. Some black and white sketched illustrations to break up the text.
my boy used this book for a 2nd grade report he had to do and he chose Jacques. He became Jacques thanks to this book. Including the accent
9-year-old son enjoyed the book. It had nice size print and appeared to give a good chronology and detail of his life events.
This series of books, Who Is, Who Was, is a great way to expose my young, age 6, grandson to inspirational heroes.
