What is a fiction book?

A fiction book tells a story of

people, places, or things that are not true. It tells a story and is not based on facts or truth. All fiction books are made-up or

imaginary.

Easy Fiction books are sometimes called picture books because the have lots of pictures and less text

or fewer words.

Fiction book are usually chapter books and with few if any

pictures. They are on a second grade or higher reading level.

What is a nonfiction book?

Nonfiction books contain information

about different subjects -- people, places, or things.

They describe true facts about the

topic being written about. All

Nonfiction books are factual.

Books have names and “addresses”

just like people do. A street address lets people know where someone lives. A

call number works like a street number- it tells where to find a book in the library.

A call number is found on the spine

of the book.

All fiction books in our media center are found in two areas

the Easy Fiction and the Fiction sections. They are arranged

alphabetically according to the first

two letters of the author’s last name.

If the book is an Easy Fiction book it

will have an E for easy on the spine plus the first two

letters of the author’s last name.

This information tells us the address

of the book. The section of the library and the shelf where

it belongs.
