Our Favorite Books About the Titanic
One history topic that I find we never seem to get sick of learning about is the sinking of the Titanic. My oldest son was quite obsessed with this topic and we checked out so many wonderful books from our library and through inter-library loan.
Here are just a few of our favorites:

However, as they try to photograph the sinking of the titanic they find that the point on the ship where they were supposed to meet is already underwater and they are quickly running out of time.

One of my favorite movies of ALL TIME! These books sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think I was it like 5 times when it was out in theaters; anytime a friend or family member mentioned that they hadn't yet gotten around to seeing it I offered to go with them.
DeleteDisasters have always been a huge draw for kids. I had a 7th grade teacher that offered a special program for kids on disasters and after all these years it still stands out as one of my memories from Jr. High. There is just something about these huge disasters that draws us to know more.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of books. Using kid's natural interests is a great way to get them reading and to provide them with a wide selection of titles.
I do find natural disasters seem to draw in their attention. We just love the I Survived series so much and I think that's why.
