BOOK NAME: National Geographic Readers: Titanic
AUTHOR: Melissa Stewart

Most of us know the story of the Titanic. A huge ship, which everyone thought was unsinkable, hit an iceberg and sunk. Less than half of the passengers survived. Yet here’s something you might not know: The reason such a small percentage of people survived was because there were not enough lifeboats for everyone to board. Before the ship had set sail, lifeboats had been taken out so that first-class passengers could have more room on the deck!

The new National Geographic Kids book, Titanic, has many interesting facts about the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic. Did you know that the last living survivor of the tragedy, Millvina Dean, was three months old when she boarded the Titanic, and she passed away in 2009?

I learned so much from reading this book! There are also paintings that look real! I would recommend Titanic to anyone ages 7 and up.

I would also like to tell you about the new National Geographic Kids program, “Super Readers”! There are different book levels for super readers, depending on how advanced they are in reading. For every four books you read, you can go online and get a prize! Although the books are thin and easy for older kids, I would still recommend it to children at any age. Enjoy the program, and keep on reading!

    Ok. Try NOT to cry about this: Titanic had 5 sisters with her (one of them scraped),Including Titanic , I think she was I think the 1st ship to be biult in history.I don`t Know, but if you ask Danny , nope! You are asking the wrong person! You need to ask me for information about (drumroll please), Titanic .What ever you do, Dont ask him! . I think he is barking up the wrong tree!
