What Are the Best Fluid Mechanics Textbooks for Aspiring Students?

[Tsunoyukami]

I am interested to know what book(s) others would recommend to someone aspiring to learn fluid mechanics from and what kind of preparation would be required for that book.

I am an undergraduate student and have completed courses in single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, introductory optics, mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics and geophysics.

Thanks a lot for any and all responses!
