Review
The story is told in this beautifully designed and illustrated new book guaranteed to fascinatre young readers -- and their parents too. (Carole Ohlin Home and School News)
Packed with reproductions of tickets, menus, telegrams and more, Titanic is a treat for those fascinated by the doomed vessel. (Jonathan P. Kuehlein Metro (Toronto) 2007-12-13)
The book offers many interesting facts about the ship, the people who were sailing on it, the sinking and the rescue efforts... The text in the book is quite accessible for the elementary student and yet will appeal to an older audience as well... I would recommend this book for use in school and public libraries as well as in personal collections. (Victoria Pennell Resource Links)
The various illustrations and facts are brought together by an interesting and lively text.... This is a well-designed book with an interesting story, many facts and great illustrations. (Richard Chase, Lethbridge Children's Literacy Roun The Lethbridge Herald 2007-12-29)
Titanic by Jim Pipe has the premise that a journalist if aboard to record the first voyage, making it very informative about all aspects of the ship. (Frank Lipsius Metrokids Delaware (Philadelphia))

A big, beautiful book ... The saga becomes real with weather reports, the accounts of the wreck, and newspaper articles of the day. (Annie Boulanger Burnaby Now 2007-12-15)
Written as a first-person account by a fictitious travel writer, this Titanic gives readers a real sense of what it was like on the ship. (Deborah Wiles The Chronicle Herald (Halifax) 2007-12-16)
[Titanic] is information-rich but entirely digestible. Perhaps the highest praise I have to give is sthat I got a real sense of being on the ship, caught up in all of the excitement and opulence of the mainden voyage. Yet, before long, I also caught a sense of the drama and tragedy that soon unfolded. This is an engaging read and, while there are now many books about the Titanic, this will be a worthwhile addition to a family's Titanic collection. (Gregory Bryan Canadian Materials 2007-12-07)
Keeps the memories of that fateful event alive with incredible detail... An engrossing and revealing read. (The Magazine (J/YA))
