One morning I woke up to find the boys reading a book about machines. It contained pictures and information about all types of trucks, cars and boats. On the last page, right up in the top right hand corner was a picture of the Titanic and a couple of sentences about what happened. They kept asking questions for the rest of the morning about the Titanic and we were trying to answer them to the best of our ability, when I suddenly remembered I had a book on the Titanic that I had bought ages ago. So we went through their bookcase and finally found it. They read the book, cover to cover about 5 times that day and they were still walking around holding both books and talking about it the next day. When asked, they said they wanted to learn more about the ship. This is what we did, we learned all about the Titanic!
