This review is from: DK Readers: Titanic: The Disaster That Shocked the World! (Level 3: Reading Alone) (Hardcover)

This book is one of the nicest books I have found for children on the Titanic. The pictures are beautiful and it's nice to have an early reader book that is non-fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Titanic Book Young Readers, May 2, 2005

By	Pamela Georgel "Pam" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this book for my son in second grade who is captivated by the tragedy of the sinking of the Titanic and this book was perfect for his reading level and probably younger readers too. He has watched several movies about the Titanic and he took this book into school today to share with his class. It gives a very good account of the facts and brings the reader forward to it's dsicovery in the 1980's. It is a good book for the kids to read to themselves or for parents to read to them. I liked it myself.
