Papa's Mechanical Fish by Candace Fleming illustrated by Boris Kulikov

An invention story loosely based on the life of Lodner Phillips.  He created one of the first submarines.  Very fun as it involves the constant encouragement of his family.  It also reveals the diligent, persistent work an inventor and scientist must put forth before success occurs.
An author's note at the back share more about the life of Lodner Phillips.
