Summary: The story of the Titanic
Strengths: There are great pictures of the ship and the event. Each page is unique in how it presents the information displayed on the page.
Concerns: The vocab is a little hard for youngsters to comprehend. There is so much text on the pages that it can become overwhelming and intimidating. It did not seem suitable for an elementary children's book. It seems like it would be more appropriate for middle school reading level.
Age level: Upper (5-6), Middle
Classroom Use: Children can learn about shipwrecks and the importance of the Titanic. It also teaches how ships have changed their safety measures because of the Titanic
