I know that this book is for grades 1 - 3, but since I am going to probably be teaching students who are several grades behind in history, I figured that having an idea of what children's books on the subject of the "Titanic" were out there and how knowledgeable they were. "Remembering the Titanic" didn't start off too bad, mostly general and basic information. There was no personal information on any one person, but for a 30 page that's fine. What was more troubling, were the several errors I discovered. First and most annoying, was that the book asserted that Ismay (Director of the White Star Line) and Captain Smith (Titanic's captain) "both" claimed that the Titanic was "unsinkable" when nothing could be further from the truth. White Star Line had NEVER advertised that either the Titanic or her sister ship before her, the Olympic", were unsinkable. The claim of "practically unsinkable" was put forth by a shipping magazine of the time. The matter of Titanic's "unsinkability" could easily have been addressed using this magazine and then mentioning the over-confidence that people had in the safety of the Titanic. The other error is more cosmetic and slightly puzzling. The picture included in the book on page 17 labeled as the Titanic's wireless room, is NOT the Titanic's wireless room. There exists only one picture of this room, it was a slightly double-exposed photo, which included the back of Harold Bride the Junior Wireless Operator and this photo is not it. I am not sure which ship's wireless room it is depicting, it could be the Olympic, which has often doubled for her sister since so few photos exist of her due to her short life, but it is typical of the time period. But this reviewer is forced to wonder why they did not use the correct photo. However, despite these errors and a rather bland feel to the book, it does make good use of a wide range of visual imagery, including actual pictures of the Titanic, other photos of the period, artistic paintings, movie stills and recent photographs of the wreck. This book would be useful for students that are special ed and need an introduction into the subject that wouldn't tax them too much. Also, the photos and other pictures are engaging and thus this book might prove a useful source for project photos.
