SS Gigantic, RMS Titanic, and a Whale of Tale!

During my library career, I've discovered kids are fascinated with the intriguing story of the RMS Titanic.  The book S.S. Gigantic Across the Atlantic by Peter Selgin, is a perfect companion to the topic.  The lighthearted story incorporates elements of the Titanic's story, believed to be unsinkable, icebergs, even the fateful date of April 15th.  Our library has a vast collection of children's materials about the Titanic, both fictional and factual.  

This week's storytime we learned of the many different types of boats, the bow and stern, and whale watching from boats!  Our storytime craft got a bit messy with lots of blue paint (washable of course!)
