Review:

The photos and information in Eye Witness to Titanic were a great resource for factual information about the Titanic. My 4th grade son spent a few months learning about, and reading various books about the Titanic and it's disasteriois end in his class at school. The children were required to read a few different books, and hopefully, in the future this book can be used as a good source of information.

The information was presented in an easy to follow manner that leant greater understanding to the Titanic. I recommend this book for children and adults who wish to become more knowledgeable about what made the building and sinking of this ship and it's passengers so memorable. I was given this book free of charge to provide an honest review of.
