This is such a fun pop up informational text book. Many kids will love to read this and have fun looking at the pages and pull out things. It is full of information and many of the kids will want to know more. The topic of the Titanic is something that middle schoolers would be interested in such as 4-7 grade. This would be a good book for a resource about introducing the Titanic and can be used in research and in many lessons for math, science, and language arts.

I would use this book for a 3-5 classroom. We would use it as a read aloud. I think it's a good book for them because children are always very engaged with situations like shipwrecks or natural disasters. I would use it when teaching students about the titanic. We would talk about the shipwreck due to the iceberg. This would lead into science instruction on environmental structures. We would use this book to learn about the composition of a ship as well. I would also use this book to discuss timelines. We would talk about the timeline of the titanic, or the timeline of major events around this time period. ( )

the cover was shiny silver with a moving replica of the ship in the middle. The story is told by ten year old Jack in a child’s voice. Each page has interesting facts about the time period, and the technology of the titanic and the actual ship. One of my favorite facts was the ship being shown in comparison to the Eiffel Tower. Jack and his family survived the ship going down. It was a great read. ( )
