5.0 out of 5 stars The best book, by Jacqueline Shaw, July 8, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Magic Tree House Fact Tracker #7: Titanic: A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House #17: Tonight on the Titanic (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (Library Binding)

This nonfiction book tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the Titanic. Some of the information the book tells you includes, how they built the ship, the day everyone boarded the ship, the types of people that were on the ship, and finally how the boat sank. I also enjoyed the pictures in the book. Some of the pictures were of the rooms, the details of the ship, and the boiling room. I recommend this book to people who want to learn about the Titanic and are from grades 1 through 5.

Jack and Annie are teaching us about the Titanic. Titanic is a great book. It has a lot of good facts: The Titanic sank in 1912. First class was the best class. You should read this book.
