Book Reviews of Titanicat (True Stories)

Book Review: Beatifully written and illustrated!
Summary: 5 Stars

We purchased this book as part of a Scholastic Book Fair at our elementary school. It was on the wish list for the school library, so we purchased it to donate. I can see why the school librarian had it on the wish list! My 7 year old has recently become very interested in things related to Titanic. Not surprisingly, she has been very sad about the loss and tragedy of the story. There is no denying that the Titanic story is tragic and should be remembered as a cautionary tale on a variety of levels, but I felt that one of the many nice things about this book is that it is a happier story related to Titanic. After all, Jim and the cats survive because they do not sail on Titanic's maiden voyage. We approached this book as parent/child reading, trading off on more difficult words. Some concepts in the book will require some explanation for younger children. My daughter had a hard time getting her mind around the idea of a superstition, but it was easy enough to connect with other kinds of superstitious beliefs that she has encountered. I think this is a very well written and beautifully illustrated book that would make a lovely addition to a personal collection, as well as to a school or community library. I will be looking for other works by both the author and the illustrator!

Summary of Titanicat (True Stories)

Young Jim Mulholland can?t believe his good luck: He has signed on as a cabin boy to the world?s finest ocean liner, the Titanic, and can?t wait for the history-making voyage across the sea to America. As part of his duties Jim is in charge of the ship?s cat, a beautiful tortoiseshell that also appears happy to be on board. He calls the cat by the ship?s construction number, 4-0-1, certain that she will bring him good luck. And he?s delighted when 4-0-1 shortly gives birth to a litter of kittens.

But once the ship?s trial runs are completed and it?s ready to launch to sea, Jim notices that 4-0-1 is nowhere to be found. He?s got to find her-the Titanic can?t cast off without her lucky cat. Jim is faced with a decision that will affect the rest of his life.
