A century after the Titanic's maiden voyage, this book relives many aspects of the ship's famous story, from construction to it's tragic end. Illustrated with fascinating photograph's, children will enjoy finding and matching the stickers of the Titanic to correct place on the page.

I bought this book after originally seeing it advertised on Amazon and then in the Bookpeople catalogue. I was thinking this would be a great book to relive my childhood with. I used to have these kind of sticker books when I was young - think they were dolls and dogs. And you had to find the correct shape of sticker to fit in the correct gap in the book.
I was majorly disappointed with this. In fact, I've never actually completed it, and have just put it away. Somewhere. For starters, the stickers can't be taken out of the book (they could in my old ones that I remember), so you spend endless minutes flicking back and forth between the book pages and the sticker pages. And I was quite disappointed when I saw how easy it was to complete. Yes, OK, I'm getting on a bit now to be doing sticker books, but this was so simple, a young child could easily complete it, and still be bored. The book pages have the actual pictures of the stickers where they should be. Not an outline, not a guess at what sticker should go there, the actual image. Sure, a little paler than the sticker image, but still the same. It pretty much defeats the purpose of even putting in the stickers.
For a youngster with a fascination for Titanic, this maybe of slight interest. Otherwise, forget it.
