For more than 100 years, people have been captivated by the disastrous sinking of the Titanic that claimed over 1,500 lives. Now young readers can find out why the great ship went down and how it was discovered seventy-five years later.
At 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912, the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic, the largest passenger steamship of this time, met its catastrophic end after crashing into an iceberg. Of the 2,240 passengers and crew onboard, only 705 survived. More than 100 years later, today's readers will be intrigued by the mystery that surrounds this ship that was originally labeled "unsinkable."
"With minimal text and bright-color illustrations, Crews captures the essence of a plane journey."--Kirkus Reviews. "A satisfying adventure for very young children."--Booklist.

The British railway system is the oldest in the world. This
fascinating book describes the early days in the British railway
industry, from the opening of the first public steam inter-city
railway line in 1830 and Robert Stephenson's Rocket, through to the
glory days of the Flying Scotsman and the expansion of the national
rail networks in the 1940s to form British Railways. With a
biography of George Stephenson the Father of the Railways and his
son Robert, a timeline and Track Facts, this book is a must for
anyone with an interest in trains and train travel.
During World War II, black Americans were fighting for their
country and for freedom in Europe, yet they had to endure a totally
segregated military in the United States, where they weren't
considered smart enough to become military pilots. After acquiring
government funding for aviation training, civil rights activists
were able to kickstart the first African American military flight
program in the US at Tuskegee University in Alabama. While this
book details thrilling flight missions and the grueling training
sessions the Tuskegee Airmen underwent, it also shines a light on
the lives of these brave men who helped pave the way for the
integration of the US armed forces.
This bumper activity book is packed with airport scenes to colour
and fill with stickers, including passengers dropping off their
bags, boarding planes and preparing for take-off. With over 200
stickers of planes, cars and buses, as well as passengers, pilots
and airport staff, this is a great way to show children what to
expect on a plane flight.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery was born in France in 1900, when
aeroplanes were just being invented. He always dreamt of flying,
and when he became a pilot as a young man, his adventures truly
began. He was one of the first pilots to deliver mail by plane and,
along with his fellow pilots, helped to create new routes to
faraway places. Antoine flew over mountains and deserts, battled
winds and storms, and even tried to break aviation records. He also
crashed a number of times. From his plane he reflected on life on
the earth and in the skies, and this inspired him to write about
his experiences. Peter Sis's remarkable biography celebrates the
author of The Little Prince, one of the world's most beloved books.
