Voices of the Titanic: A Titanic Book for Kids (History Speaks!)

I would only recommend this book if you are doing a school documentary or just want to learn facts about the Titanic.

We bought this as a gift for our son who loves anything Titanic. The stories are short enough to keep his attention and interesting for adults to read as well. We’ve all learned a lot about the Titanic and the personalized stories give it a different feel than just a facts book.

My grandsons interest in the Titanic had been piqued and this was a great book for him.

Our 10 yr old loves Titanic and was thrilled with this book!!

Voices of the Titanic is a non-fiction page turner for kids and adults alike! I've always been fascinated with the history of the Titanic, but reading Mary Montero's book taught me tons of facts that I didn't know before. The individual bios, photos, and personal narratives make this a rich, fascinating read. This book spans all classes and walks of life and really broadened my picture of what really happened on that fateful April night.

Our 7 year old looked forward to lunch as we would read a few passages from this. Was great! Highly recommend.

I initially purchased this book for my daughter that wanted to learn more about the Titanic. When it arrived I started to read it myself. a few pages in and I was hooked. So many interesting facts and perspectives. This is a must read for children and adults.

I bought this to teach with in UKS2 and it was great. Really humanises the stories of the passengers. We used a few of the stories to inform recount writing, but many then borrowed the book to kerp reading and my own children also enjoyed the stories.

I loved the pictures but wished there could be more. Fascinating to learn of the full extent of the reality of the real lives, after the film highlights. I’m reading another one that’s massive and thick hard backed, from my parents loft when they moved into something smaller. That’s extremely detailed. Classic traditional pages with newspaper prints. I haven’t finished that one yet, I’m just on the section just on all the different icebergs !! Anyhow, there’s no best book since they have different forms and structures etc but also they are what they each meant to be. So thank you for this one too !

I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though it was written for children adults can enjoy reading it too. There were very inspiring storied about the survivors.

Enjoyed this. Would be useful for Year 6 pupils who study The Titanic as one of their topics.

The book was amazing but captain Smith it wasn't him. But you did a great job on The book I've never seen anything like it
