All fiction books tell a story.
Fiction books have characters,
a setting, a problem, and a
solution.
We read fiction books for fun.
A nonfiction book gives
true facts and
information.
Penguins are very
interesting animals. They
are birds but they can not
fly. They can however, swim
very well. Penguins live in
the southern half of the
world.
We read nonfiction
books to find answers
or to learn more about
something.
**There are some books in the nonfiction
section that don’t fit this rule, like fairy
tales and poetry books. These books do
not give facts and information, but they
are placed in the nonfiction section of a
library.

When all through the house……
Now you know some of
the words used to talk
about libraries.
