5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've ever read., June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Story of the Titanic (Pictureback) (Hardcover)

The pictureback book of the Titanic is a complete masterpiece! My favorite part is when Titanic was sinking the crew saw the lights of another ship in the distance, and it says it was the Californian, the leyland cargo-liner under its captain: Stanley Lord. I recommend this book for my Titanic Library and for everyone. So buy it now!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Titanic For Young Readers, June 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Story of the Titanic (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

This is the best children's picture book about the Titanic. Amidst all the hullaballoo surrounding the latest movie about it, it's good for little kids to have a book that will answer their questions with the facts.
