Titanic (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3)

My grandson loves this

great

I purchased this book for a youngster who is enthralled with the Titanic. He was surprised and it made his day. He is 6 yrs old.

What's with the 4-year-olds in love with the Titanic? At first I thought I was the only one, and then I read the reviews. My son joins a club of little guys and gals who can't get enough of all things Titanic - and we don't have enough answers. So, that's where amazing writers, editors, photographers, and publishers come in. When I see anything Titanic that could entertain a 4-year-old and answer his endless questions, I pick it up. I've googled all I can, I need help!I LOVE this book! It is FULL of pictures on fantastic wipe clean pages! Photo pages. (4-year-old boys get everything dirty, and within the first 24 hours he had something on these pages, and I was over-the-moon when I discovered how easily they wiped clean. Bonus!)So many great pictures fill this book. Because to a preschooler, who can't read, that's the most important thing! He doesn't want a book filled with words that he doesn't understand, he wants pictures of things he can see. Relate to. Look at. He loves the pictures. He loves to flip through this book and stare at all the pictures, and then show us all the pictures. "Look at this one!" It has pictures of the Titanic being built. Of it floating. Of it sinking. Of it on the ocean floor... And that's what these kids want to see. All these amazing pictures.Of course, it's full of awesome facts, too. Facts I haven't heard or seen yet either, which makes it that much better. Short little facts that I can read before he flips the page. That he actually takes interest in. That he can repeat.This is a fantastic little book for anybody who's interested in the Titanic - but especially for kids. Lots of pictures, durable pages, and full of interesting facts. Oh, and a great price! I just wish it came with a Kindle copy.

5 year old grandson wanted this book - loves the Titanic story. Easy to read for him and he enjoyed the pictures and facts. Nice History facts.

This book was just what I wanted for my 8-year-old grandson who is interested in the Titanic. The print is larger and not too intimidating for a younger reader. The layout of the pages is colorful and attractive for a younger reader, and the pictures are among the best I have seen compared to other books on the Titanic written for children. I deducted one star because the magazine is rather small, a mini-magazine, with fewer than 50 numbered pages.

Good book for my childs research.

I am an elementary school teacher and I use Nat Geo Books all the time. They have a lot of informational text about the topic and they have fabulous pictures. I use these books as mentor texts when I teach non-fiction. The kids usually love these books and are engaged during the lesson.
