Best Titanic Nonfiction Books for Kids

New Titanic book from Scholastic

Some new books about the Titanic have been published close to the 104th anniversary of the shipwreck.

This is my favorite one, and I think it would make a great resource for teachers who are wanting to teach things about science and social studies through the lens of the Titanic.

It's published by Scholastic and has a lot of great photos and infographics as well as all kind of fascinating little factoids about the Titanic and its passengers.

Here is a resource list with reviews of all kinds of nonfiction Titanic books .
