In the Dorling Kindersley "level two" readers, the sentences are longer and the vocabulary is more challenging. The information boxes are full of extra fun facts and there is a simple index in each book.

The beautiful illustrations and full-color photographs make this story come to life. This story focuses on one family who sets sail for America aboard the Titanic. The story starts as an adventure and ends in tragedy, yet the father is united with this family. I think that was a wise choice and the author was very aware of the fear children have of loosing a parent.

There is safety information in this book which explains how the disaster did help prevent deaths in the future. Now all ships carry enough lifeboats for everyone on board.

If your son enjoys reading about the Titanic, he will love this book about
Survivors of the Titanic. This book is a must have for any young Titanic
enthusiast .

This book is filled with emotion. This is a good book for ages 8 -10 because it helps you learn about history. It also helps you learn safety on the water such as how to warn other ships by shooting flares in the air. Flares are like fireworks except they aren't colorful and they warn other ships to watch out or help. Did you know that over 1000 people died? You don't have to be too sad. It's a great book so let's read it!

I use this series with my dyslexic students, for whom reading is such a struggle. They have been intrigued by this historical narrative, which tries to convey the feeling of the era. The illustrations are truly wonderful!
