Hey, Emily here(Rachel's big sis) and sorry that we're a day late. Our Grandpa has heart trouble&is in the hospital, and our Nanny is being stubborn and refusing any help even though she's diabetic and can't be left alone all day, so we've been a bit busy- I completely forgot about this video until today.
So there is the video. Enjoy!

Teaser Tuesday's #1
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

On My Bookshelf : Remembering The Titanic by Freida Wishinsky
Publication Date: March 1st 2012(Rachel got it early at her book fair)
Summary:
A brand-new reader for the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.On April 10, 1912, the TITANIC set sail. On April 15, 1912, the great ship sank. This simple reader tells the story of the TITANIC for the 100th anniversary of its tragic voyage. Find out what life was like aboard the ship and meet some of the passengers and the crew. Read about Robert Ballard's triumphant discovery of the wreck 73 years later and what's been discovered since. Full-color photographs throughout and clearly leveled text make history come alive for younger readers.
Rachel's Review:I liked this book. I've read it three times already because I really like it. I like it because it helps me learn about the Titanic(big sister's note: she's been crazy about the Titanic since she's seen the movie- well, a version of the movie where I fast forward through more than one parts dealing with a certain picture, haha).
It's fun to read but still helps me learn a lot- I even used my calculator to add up the numbers in it and I learned that there were 1311 passengers on the Titanic.
I rate this book 5 stars because I love it.
