882 1/2 ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TITANIC by Hugh Brewster and Laurie Coulter (Scholastic 1998) presents lots of information to readers in the form of questions and answers. The Titanic measured 882 1/2 feet, hence the title. Pair this with the numerous other books about the ship including Alan Wolf's THE WATCH THAT ENDS THE NIGHT and Barry Denenberg's TITANIC SINKS! <197>
ANIMAL BABIES is part of Scholastic's (2012) Discover More series. Teachers can download a free companion book of activities to go along with this book designed for very young readers. Basic information about animal babies from how they are born (egg, live birth, etc.) to their change and development is conveyed along with clear diagrams and colorful photos. <198>
