Escaping Titanic by Marybeth Lorbiecki - OPTIONAL


Lorbiecki, Marybeth Escaping Titanic.  Picture Window, 2012.  $9.  PICTURE BOOK.  Content: G.  

Ruth Becker was just a little girl when she, her mother and her sister boarded the Titanic.  When the ship starts to go down, Ruth is separated from her family and is left with strangers in one of the last lifeboats.  For Ruth’s family it is all happy endings, but that doesn’t mitigate the  terror of that night. 

I liked this very much as a way to show children that young people were also aboard the Titanic that fated night.
