5.0 out of 5 stars Titanic non-fiction book - Justin in San Antonio, October 24, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Titanic: A Nonfiction Companion to Tonight on the Titanic (Magic Tree House Research Guide) (Turtleback)

I am 10 years old, and I really liked this book. I learned the Titanic was as long as 3 football fields and as tall as an 11 story building, and room for 2,500+ passengers. I also learned how much food was on the ship to feed everyone and the coal for the boilers for one week. The book showed pictures of what the rooms looked like and how much they cost, some were $400 dollars which is more than $5,000 in todays money.

The book told me about some of the real people that were on the ship and about some of the people that survived. I learned that the movie showed that they didn't let the third class passengers go to the lifeboats and this was not true. This book is non-fiction and has things that really happened and I learned alot of things that I did not know. I think other kids will like this book.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Titanic: A Nonfiction Companion to Tonight on the Titanic (Magic Tree House Research Guide) (Turtleback)

I read the book Titanic. This book is very interseting and had a sad ending. Many people thought The Titanic was unsinkable but they were wrong. It sank because the glaicer warning wasn't recieved. The Titanic ended up crashing into a glacier and sank hours later. They had to use all the lifeboats.
I learned some interesting facts. There are many parts on The Titanic.There are three classes of travlers on the ship.The first class travlers were wealthy.The second class travlers were between having alot of money and having little money. Third class travlers were mostly poor and were mostly immigrants. When all the lifeboats were gone over 1,000 people were still on board and many of those people died on the ship as it sank or died from the bitter coldness of the water or they drowned.
I would recommend this book for three reasons.I would recommend this book for people to learn more about the Titanic.It has good facts about The Titanic. It is not too hard to read. Titanic is a great book.
