The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau

40 pp. | Knopf | March, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-375-85573-3 $16.99
(2) K-3 Yaccarino's picture book biography uses sinuous shapes and a retro fifties palette to evoke the beauty of Cousteau's watery domain. With spot quotations from the man himself, the text succinctly numbers his achievements. Gouache and airbrush paintings go far to convey the allure of the deep, while lots of variety in picture size and page layout keeps the book dynamic. Reading list, timeline.
