I read this out loud to my husband as we drove around doing errands. The book is a bit dated (early 90s), and I feel like Catherine Reef's later books are better than her earlier ones. That being said, my husband and I enjoyed learning about Jacques Cousteau and his life's work. We plan to watch a few of his shows later.
