Story of the Titanic (DK History) Hardcover – Bargain Price, 1 Mar. 2012

I bought "Story of the Titanic" by DK for my 6-year-old son, who is autistic and absolutely fascinated—no, obsessed—with the Titanic, the Britannic, and the Olympic. Finding age-appropriate books that are both visually engaging and information-rich has been tricky, but this one hit the sweet spot perfectly.🚢 Why It’s Perfect for Young Titanic Lovers:Stunning Visuals:Like all DK books, the photography, illustrations, and layout are top-tier.

It's broken into short paragraphs with headings, making it ideal for kids who prefer to read in smaller bursts or for parents to read aloud together.Factual but Sensitive:It covers the story of the Titanic respectfully and gently—enough detail to satisfy curiosity but without anything overly graphic or distressing for a 6-year-old. It includes information on the ship’s construction, the people on board, the voyage, and the sinking, all presented in a calm, informative tone.Engages Special Interests:For my son, who thrives when learning about specific topics in depth, this book has become a soothing and enriching part of his routine. It even includes comparisons between Titanic, Britannic, and Olympic, which made his day!💙 Why I’d Recommend It to Other Parents:It encourages focus, vocabulary building, and comprehension in a way that’s fun and naturally engaging for kids with special interests.It’s built to last—hardback with thick pages, which is great for younger hands that love flipping through books often.It’s a great tool for bonding—we’ve had so many conversations and learning moments thanks to this book.🌟 Final Thoughts:If you have a child who’s fascinated by the Titanic (and her sister ships), this book is a must-have. It’s educational, visually stunning, and perfectly pitched for younger children without being too basic. For us, it has sparked joy, learning, and hours of peaceful exploration.I can’t recommend it enough—it’s been more than a book; it’s become a daily companion and a window into a world my son truly loves. 💙🚢

The book "Story of the Titanic" (2012) looks amazing! It is nicely and accurately illustrated, goes into details divided into 20 chapters from the description of Titanic's grand design and build, through describing the classes of passengers on board back in 1912, the costumes of the society of that history period, until Her final moments. It is an astonishing book and a must have for everyone.

Great book very informative for kids

Good information 👍

For my grandson good quality book

This book is more for children than adults but very good with information and pictures.

Worth it to buy.

A lovely illustrated book with new things to find every time you read it. My grandson is 5 years and the book is a bit too advanced for him, but we find lots to talk about
