Kimberly said Great book for kids. The illustrations in this book are incredibly detailed - my 5-year-old Titanic fan had a blast looking for every little person, room, etc. The text is written to coincide with the elaborate cut-away views of the interior of the ship and encourages the reader to find fun little details, like two steel workers who are sneaking a break during the construction of the giant liner.
