Though it is clearly being aimed at a younger audience than what I am used to reading, it has an appeal to a wider age range then the three Titanic kids-nonfiction books I reviewed yesterday (see my reviews for "A Pig on the Titanic", "The Titanic Disaster: A True Book" and "Remembering the Titanic"). In fact, this book would really be ideal for middle schoolers and might even be of use to high schoolers, though mostly for the statistics and pictures. This book is very engaging and full of delightful drawings, many of them based off of historical pictures. Also, the little asides from the people, such as the three Firemen commenting on the boilers on Titanic: "There are 29 boilers on this ship!", says one. While the second says, "Yes, each 16.3 ft. high!" And the third fireman's comments relate to his low compensation for his work with, "Bloomin' backbreaking work for $27 a month". The Handy Hints section is along the same vein, sly commentary on the times. I really enjoyed this book and plan on adding a copy of it to both my personal collection and to my growing classroom collection.
