FROM SARAH:

Jacques Cousteau helped to invent a way to breathe underwater, then set sail on his ship to meet the fish, whales, and glimmering creatures of the deep as if they were old friends. This picture book biography is filled with dreamy, drifting illustrations that make the page feel like the ocean itself. Beautifully done!

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

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 gorgeous paintings combine to create a portrait of Jacques Cousteau that is as magical as it is inspiring.

FROM SARAH:

Do you know a kid who is fascinated (or terrified?) by sharks? Marta Álvarez Miguéns’s playful illustrations make the sea feel inviting rather than scary, so this book works beautifully as a bedtime read, a launch pad for a unit on ocean life, or a first step into the world of science biographies. Dive in and you may just come up with a new favorite fish.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Eugenie Clark fell in love with sharks from the first moment she saw them at the aquarium. She couldn't imagine anything more exciting than studying these graceful creatures. But Eugenie quickly discovered that many people believed sharks to be ugly and scary--and they didn't think women should be scientists.

FROM SARAH:

This book is an excellent adventurous for those curious about both history and science (and those who simply want to be). Join Alvin on his incredible adventure to the depths of the sea in search of the Titanic. Pairs wonderfully with other RAR favorites, Manfish, and Family Book Club selection, Otis and Will.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Climb aboard Alvin, the famous deep-sea submersible credited with helping to find the Titanic, and take a trip two miles down to the bottom of the ocean.
