Book Review: Inside the Titanic (A Giant Cutaway Book)
Summary: 5 Stars
By Hugh Brewster (Madison Press Book, 1997)
Illustrated By Ken Marschall
With exquisite illustrations and fold out pages, this book presents the grand artistry of the Titanic. Marschall included vivid details within the illustrations and cutaway views that bring the ship alive. This book contains an ample amount of information and old photographs of Titanic. Brewster provides tidbits of what it was like on Titanic with descriptions of the Turkish Baths, the First-Class Promenade, and more. A comprehensive explanation of how the Titanic sank is offered in text, diagrams, and illustrations. This book also tells about how the people were rescued that survived Titanic's sinking and about exploring the sunken ship. With its breathtaking illustrations of Titanic and abundant information, this book is truly an educational and enjoyable gem.
Book Review: One of the best books on this subject for kids of any age
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a fairly sizeable collection of Titanic books, but until now I had nothing written and illustrated specifically for children. Ken Marschall is a consummate illustrator and his artwork in this book is stunning. One of the important things is that the story is about two real children - one in first class; one in steerage - who were actually on the Titanic. While, even for kids, there can be no happy ending to this story, the book follows the main characters' lives past the sinking and rescue, into adulthood, and till their deaths. The story is written with low-key emotion, and is more factual than overwhelmingly sad. The story of the Titanic is almost 100 years old but the lessons we learn from it today are as important as those learned back in 1912. It's an important true story, well worth purchasing to read with your kids.Book Review: Not Just For Children
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book was meant for kids - everyone will certainly enjoy it! I bought it for my nephews this past Christmas. (11 and 9 years old) James Cameron's film had just come out. The boys hadn't seen it, but they were interested in the disaster. When I saw this book I knew they'd love it! I honestly thought about keeping it for myself! Beautiful illustrsations and a captivating story. You really get the feel of how immense this ship was to two very young boys. It may not be exactly accurate - but it was designed as a children's book and not as a practical schematic for engineers. If you have kids who are interested in the Titanic disaster ( or if you're a history buff) I highly recommend this one!Book Review: Perfect for your Titanic obsessed kid
Summary: 5 Stars
My 4 year old has been obsessed with the Titanic for months now. We have read many different Titanic books and this one definitely stands out. And not just because of it's enormous size. Although that really enhances the experience of "looking inside" the Titanic. The detailed illustrations are truly amazing. This book isn't filled with as many facts as some of our other favorites but I suppose that might be a plus for some children. After checking this out from the library 5 times we decided to add to our home library and our little guy couldn't be happier!Book Review: Inside The Titanic
Summary: 5 Stars
Inside the Titanic Book Review Frank's room is a tiny third-class cabin. Billy and his family are traveling in a luxurious suite. But both boys are thrilled to be on the first voyage of the greatest liner ever built. They can't wait to explore every deck of this fabulous new ship. Read this book and you can follow "two young passengers as they explore the Titanic from top to bottom". This book is by Ken Marshall. I liked it because it showed and told how it sank. So I hope you like Inside the Titanic.
