Shipwrecks by Jan Mark
"Oxford Reds" is our first major super series for newly confident readers. Each book is on a real-life subject with a simple lively text and richly coloured, realistic illustrations. These books will appeal particularly to the beginner reader who prefers factual information to a story. Ships can catch fire. Ships can capsize. The Mary Rose went into battle overloaded with cannon and soldiers, and went down within sight of land. The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. But in fact, most shipwrecks happen when two ships collide.Jan Mark is a distinguished children's writer, specializing in short stories.
