The Edmund Fitzgerald: The Song of the Bell

The book itself is in like new condition. The story is beautiful and the illustrations as well. It will be part of my classroom library to share history, especially Michigan, with grade school students.

I bought this book as a gift for my 10yr old son.He loves learning about the sunken ship.The Great Lakes are apart of where he comes from so therefore I belive give a child all the info you can.

Knowledgeably written by Kathy-Jo Wargin and expertly illustrated by Gisjbert Van Frankenhuyzen, The Edmund Fitzgerald: The Song Of The Bell is the suspenseful picture book retelling of the doomed voyage of a ship and the tragic end for the 29 men aboard it. Told with compassion and historical accuracy, this true story concludes with the retrieval of the ship's bell from the ocean depths and the placing of it in the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, Michigan, so that the loved ones of those who died with the sinking of that great ship could have a place to go and remember their cherished memories of those who were lost.
