(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Robbie Cathro. This book covers five disasters, including the Titanic and the Hindenburg. Redding’s straightforward style makes it easy for kids to make connections between past catastrophes and more recent ones. Eyewitness accounts, primarily by children, support each narrative. Every chapter includes danger clues, fact files, and science experiments related to the particular calamity. Black-and-white illustrations (some seemingly ahistorical or a little cartoony for the topic) help readers visualize the devastation. An author’s note, source notes, and a bibliography are appended.
