At 64 pages in length Exploring the Titanic is not overwhelming and offers plenty of fun facts and images for readers to marvel at. There is also a comparative set of pictures on pages 44-45 which show the bridge of Titanic in 19.Įxploring the Titanic is a good book for children who are interested in history and science. Readers are able to see what the living quarters, dining rooms, swimming pool, grand staircase in the foyer, and so much more all looked like. Some of the more informative and interesting pictures are located on pages 12-15, which provides a diagram of how Titanic was set up and on page 59 there is a diagram of how the Titanic sank. More than 1,500 people went down with the ship and the site of the wreckage had been unseen for 73 years until those aboard the Knorr laid eyes on her. The images captured by Argo (basically a steel, robotic camera) of Titanic sitting at the bottom of the ocean are haunting. Ballard takes readers on a complete journey of what Titanic was like before its sinking and what its remains look like after. Titanic has always been a fascinating story because it is so incredibly tragic.
Informational books are meant to be informative and Exploring the Titanic succeeds with its accurate facts and illustrations.
