Titanic (National Geographic Kids Readers, Level 3)

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.

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.

Good book for my childs research.

great

My son is 7 and interested in the Titanic. I wanted something that had lots of facts and pictures, but was still accessible and appropriate for his age group and reading level (too many books for kids on this topic are too dense, or are for older readers). The book is good for both solo reading and reading together. It's not too long or too big, so it's not intimidating. I like the imagery and the design. It is just enough for a young boy's attention span. The author is a good children's non-fiction writer, so when I saw her name as author, I felt confident ordering this book.

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.

My three year old, watching a show, where they mentioned the titanic and started asking questions about it. We decided to purchase this book as we have several of the other National Geographic series of early readers, and this one did not disappoint. This book went in-depth about the building of the titanic, the sailing of the titanic and its ultimate demise, as well as people searching for the remains of the boat. Great book to read during the day or even before bedtime. My son loves reading it and even the number of months later we are still reading it at least once or twice a week. It takes about 12 minutes to read the entire book so it’s not terribly long. Do in-depth enough.
