My Review:

From the launching of the unsinkable vessel, the Titanic, to the journey and her tragic sinking and then to the discovery of the wreckage, Mark Dubowski takes the young reader back in time to the setting of the world's most memorable ocean tragedy.  Full colour illustrations enrich the experience as young readers learn the details, from the size of the Titanic and her mechanics, to travellers and accommodations, and to the night of April 14, 1912.  For the enthusiast and the curious, Titanic The Disaster that Shocked the World is brimming with colourful detail and accurate reference in this non-fiction book for children ages 7-9 years.
