differentiate between the two forms. Sort through a selection of books
with your child.

Fiction and nonfiction
We call books that are made up f iction. The stories are not real.
We call books that are true nonf iction. The things in them are real.
Book covers help us sort f iction and nonf iction books.
The title helps. So does the picture.
Write the titles of these books on the correct lists below.
